About this Seminar Training
Notice:
Following recent reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NCQA has decided to cancel our seminar offerings in May.
Gov. Ron DeSantis directed State Health Officer and Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees to declare a public health emergency in Florida on March 1, 2020. Our top priority is the health and safety of our attendees.
We are working to develop an alternative, virtual training to supplement this seminar. We will notify you via email when we open these alternative activities for registration.Â
