CDC COCA Calls Serve as a Valuable Resource to AVHAP Members

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA) provides timely, accurate, and credible information to clinicians related to emergency preparedness and response and emerging public health threats. COCA fosters partnerships with national clinician organizations to strengthen information-sharing networks before, during, and after a public health emergency.

COCA helps to strengthen the emergency response capacity of clinicians by:

• Disseminating evidence-based health information and public health emergency messages to clinicians

• Collaborating with clinicians to develop communication strategies that support health risk reduction opportunities during public emergencies

• Providing and promoting emergency preparedness and response training opportunities for clinicians

During COCA Calls/Webinars, subject matter experts present key emergency preparedness and response topics, followed by meaningful Q&A with participants. Each COCA Call/Webinar will offer the most up to date information and guidance for clinicians. Continuing Education is available for most calls/webinars.
