BC’s 1900 rural physicians will soon have access to rurally relevant CME/CPD in their own communities.

We are pleased to announce the up­coming launch of the web site for the Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Network (CCPCN), supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer Corporation. The web site will be ready for viewing in mid-July 2009 at www.ccpcn.ca.

The web site provides information for the public and health care professionals about cervical cancer, cervical cancer screening, human papillomavirus (HPV), and vaccination.
