To help offset the costs of our programs (Pulse has no membership fee) we do request a fee of $20 to process CEs for Board Certified Patient Advocates (BCPAs). If due to hardship you cannot pay the fee, please contact Pulse at 516.579.4711 before the program so arrangements can be made. We do not want to turn anyone away.
Are You Interested in Presenting?
Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy (Pulse CPSEA) programs create a national venue to welcome and engage people who use the healthcare system. This includes caregivers and patient advocates, regardless of background or training. We share knowledge, experience and resources to improve the effectiveness of all persons who serve others in their healthcare journey. Programs are usually videotaped and then shared on the Pulse Patient Safety Advocate Academy.
Pulse CPSEA is a community based patient safety organization so priority is given to proposals that focus on safe patient care and patient and family empowerment. Proposals will be considered for CE’s for Board Certified Patient Advocates and must be submitted at least 90 days before the planned presentation date.
If you are interested in becoming a presenter, please complete the form and someone from the Pulse Leadership Team will contact you.
