Recent mass shootings, including at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on March 24 and at a medical office building in Tulsa, Okla., on June 1, have spotlighted the tragic need for attack preparedness.

The Texas Medical Association offers the following CME courses to help physicians safeguard their practices:

  • Active Attack Events and Preparedness – This webinar trains physicians and their staff on how to prepare for and survive a violent attack at their practice.

Participants are eligible for 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, 1 ethics credit.
