Who Should Participate

This activity is designed for a broad audience that includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, case managers and any other clinician whose scope of practice includes helping patients quit smoking or make other health behavior changes.

Overview of Methods and Participation

This ten-video program is designed to introduce the concept of motivational interviewing (MI) and its value in helping patients who smoke consider a quit attempt, as well as being applicable to other areas of health behavior change. Key components and strategies of MI will be explained, and video demonstrations of successful MI will be shown. Participants will be encouraged to consider how to integrate MI into their practice setting. Videos can be viewed and credit can be provided separately, although participation in the entire program is recommended.

To receive at least 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ or up to a maximum 2.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, you must view each of the videos, complete each post-test with a score of 70% or higher, and complete an evaluation form.
