Thank you for considering the Integrative Providers Association (IPA) as a platform to deliver your educational content to doctors, nurses, pharmacists and allied healthcare professionals. If your lecture is chosen, your (1) one hour presentation will be produced and accredited through a Joint-Providership between the Integrative Providers Association (IPA) and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Center for Accredited Interprofessional Continuing Medical Education, in a unified effort to advance, empower and unite healthcare teams around their patients and patient outcomes.

Before you begin, please take a moment to read this page, get acquainted with the roles and responsibilities, and have these (15) fifteen things ready (but don’t worry, you can always complete your current step, save your place and come back to finish it later if life happens during the process) when you are ready to begin the process:

Once completed with this page, you will be taken to a page to fill out a Talent Release and Disclosure Statement. Please list all financial interests, no matter how small, in order to maintain transparency in regards to educational content development and accreditation rules. When in doubt, list it out. List N/A in all spaces that are not applicable, but please do not leave any blank spaces. When in doubt, list it so your hard work is not disqualified later for undisclosed interests in disqualified organizations.

Writing Learning Objectives can be daunting for some, especially when one factors in the busy and stressful life of our providers. So IPA has teamed up with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine’s Center for Accredited Interprofessional Continuing Medical Education (TTUHSC CAICME) to give you some guidance, inspiration and guardrails. CME/CE/CEU activities are designed to promote changes in the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships between the physician, patients, the public and other physicians, while interprofessional continuing medical education further includes allied healthcare professions, assistants, technologists, technicians, and others participating in one’s continuum of care. Learning objectives for these activities should be written in terms of measurable outcomes.
