April 15, 2011 - HealthForumOnline is a large provider of online continuing education (CE) for psychologists, social workers, counselors, nurses and all types of healthcare professionals. They have now updated their Chemical Dependency category, which specifically addresses smoking cessation with the course “Cigarettes and Addiction: Helping Patients Quit Smoking”. Because behaviors such as cigarette smoking lead to greater disease-related morbidity, mortality, and disability, they translate into negative consequences on health and quality of life, and enormous economic implications for an already burdened healthcare system. It is essential that today’s healthcare professionals are educated on the latest and most up to date information surrounding such topics. The updated online CE courses will assist in ensuring that providers are able to help clients quit smoking and treat other chemical dependencies.
