2015 Summit on HPV-Related Diseases
On June 18, 2015, The University of Texas MD Anderson HPV Pilot Moon Shot, the MD Anderson Oropharynx Program with support through the Stiefel Oropharyngeal Research Fund, the Department of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine, the Office of Health Policy, and the Comprehensive Cancer Control Cervical Cancer Workgroup convened the Protecting Our Children: 2015 Summit on HPV-Related Diseases at the United Way of Greater Houston.
- The goal of the 2015 Summit on HPV-Related Diseases is to reduce the incidence and mortality rates of HPV-associated cancers and improve the rates of HPV vaccination. This goal was accomplished by bringing together family practitioners, pediatricians, school principals and school nurses, physician assistants in pediatric settings, parent leaders of PTOs and PTAs, school and community health educators, nurse practitioners in pediatric settings, School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) representatives and community advocates to review and discuss the implementation of evidence-based best practices for HPV-associated disease prevention and treatment.
- Topics included raising awareness of HPV-associated cancers and diseases prevention and screening, raising awareness of HPV vaccinations for adolescents, and identifying barriers and resources to help children receive needed HPV vaccines.
- CME, CNE, CHES and CPE continuing education hours were also offered. Audio and video of the summit are posted online below.
