Process This! Episode 136: HSPA Chapter Resource Roundup
HSPA Chapter Resource Roundup
With more than 50 chapters across the country and around the world, HSPA’s affiliated chapter system is available as a local resource to support our Sterile Processing (SP) professionals, wherever they may be. Active participation in a regional chapter offers relationship building and networking, professional development, vendor interaction and inspiration. But where can our chapters and those who run them find support?
In episode 136, host Casey Czarnowski speaks with Arlene Bush, HSPA President and SPD Educator for Lee Health, and Damien Berg, HSPA’s VP of Strategic Initiatives, about the resources available to support our chapters. Our guests give a chapter status update and discuss the value of the Chapter Resource Guide and HSPA Network. Their conversation includes advice on identifying relevant topics, promoting educational events, and collaborating with industry partners as well as the importance of promptly applying for continuing education (CE) approval. If you aren’t connected with a chapter, visit HSPA Chapters to find one near you.
