Returning to Wild Dunes Resort on Isle of Palms, SC for 2025!!!

Welcome Back!!! This year we will again be offering a Hybrid Conference due to demands for both Virtual and In Person Continuing Education.

Regardless of modality, we will offer one conference with hybrid sessions for all topics.  Our virtual conference will be held using the MS Teams Software as we have done for the past three years with the assistance of our SC Department of Public Health Information Technology partners.

Wednesday, 2/19/25 hours will be 8:00 am to 4:30 pm

Thursday, 2/20/25 hours will be 8:00 am to 2:15 pm

Friday 2/21/25 hours will be 8:00 am to 2:15 pm.

Conference on Wednesday will be all single sessions. Our lunch break will be 90 minutes with a buffet lunch for those on-site.   Breaks will be 15 minutes.  On Thursday and Friday, we will have a link to video briefing for virtual attendees who are attending for the first day, the morning will be 2 break-out sessions and finish with a combined topic.  Breaks will be 15 minutes long and the midday break on Thursday and Friday will be 45 minutes for a heavy snack break. The program will be accredited for a maximum of 16.75 CEU.

Our technological support will be coming from SC Department Public Health IT Department.
