The health and safety of our community are our top priority. Triage Cancer is excited to be hosting an in-person conference, but we recognize that there may be concerns about gathering in person during an ongoing pandemic. As a community with immunocompromised members, we must prioritize a culture of caution and care for ourselves and others. Below are the COVID policies that will be in place for the event.

• All attendees must provide proof of vaccination or documentation of a medical or religious exemption with a negative PCR test. 
  • Attendees must provide proof of vaccination or documents for exemption at the registration table on the day of the event.
  • Any exempt, unvaccinated attendees must provide proof of negative PCR test results received within 48 hours of check in at the registration table.
• Masks are required to be worn over the nose and mouth at all times during the event when not actively eating or drinking.
  • If you do not have a mask upon arrival, we will provide you with a mask.

We will continue to follow COVID-19 recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the local County Public Health Department. If you are sick or have been in contact with someone who is sick, please stay home.

We expect attendees to respectfully abide by these policies as we strive to maintain the safety and well-being of our community and staff. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation on these policies.

If you prefer not to abide by these policies, we invite you to join us online for the Triage Cancer Conference by choosing the online option on the registration form.

Attendance & Evaluation

In order to receive CEs/Contact Hours/PDCs, attendees must physically sign in when they arrive, return a completed evaluation, and sign out when they leave. Participants must attend the entire event. No partial credit will be given.

Attendance

In order to receive CEs/contact hours/PDCs, attendees must register individually. Participants who “listen in” on another participant’s phone/computer will not be eligible for credit. Participants must attend the entire event. No partial credit will be given.

Post-test & Evaluation

Participants will be emailed a link to the online evaluation and post-test one day after the completion of the Conference and will have one week to complete both. Participants must receive a passing grade (80%) on the post-test to receive CEs/Contact Hours (please note: this is not required for HR professionals). Participants who do not pass the post-test will be given one opportunity to re-take the test. Instructions and a link to re-take the exam will be emailed to every participant who does not receive a passing grade on the post-test. If participants do not pass the post-test on the second attempt they will not receive credit.

The relevant certificates will be emailed to eligible attendees within 4 weeks of the event.
