Project ENGAGE invites all Tobacco Treatment Specialists (TTS) to participate in a FREE, one-hour online accredited course. This course is specifically designed to equip you with the latest knowledge and strategies to educate your clients about life-saving lung cancer screening effectively.

Accredited Learning: Approved by the Council for Tobacco Treatment Training Programs, this course offers 1 continuing education contact hour upon completion, ensuring you stay updated in your field. You will also receive a certificate of completion.

Why It Matters: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., responsible for about 1 in 5 cancer deaths. While lung cancer screening can save thousands of lives annually, many eligible individuals are unaware of this opportunity. As a Tobacco Treatment Specialist, you play a crucial role in bridging this knowledge gap.

By enrolling in "Conversations that Save Lives: How Tobacco Treatment Specialists can Engage Clients in a Discussion about Lung Cancer Screening," you will become part of a community of committed specialists who are driving positive change. Your expertise will enable clients to make informed health choices, building on the trust they already place in you.
