What is my login info?

You will need to first login to the conference site using your My SOPHE account credentials. Forgot Password? Please click here to reset your password. An email will be sent to you- if it does not come through right away, please check your junk folders.

How do I access the sessions?

You should have received a confirmation email with detailed instructions. Within that email, there is a link that directs you to the login area.

Alternatively, you can access any of the sessions by clicking on the “Enter Sessions” in the top menu bar or block at the bottom of the home page.

From there, select the conference day you would like to view. Click on any session title and access the “View Session” button.  Simply click on the correct day, and click on View Session towards the right. You will be able to access 15 minutes in advance of the start time each day.

Will I be able to view the recorded archive of these virtual conference sessions?

The virtual sessions are being recorded and all registrants of Virtual SOPHE 2020 will have access to them. All sessions will be posted as soon as possible, within 72 hours. The process will be similar to how you log in for the live programs, but you will be able to view them at your convenience.

Can I receive CE’s for the conference?

An application has been approved to award Certified Health Education Specialists (CHES) and/or Master Certified Health Education Specialists (MCHES) up to a total of 59.5 Continuing Education Contact Hours (CECHs), including 29.5 entry-level CECHs and 30 advanced-level CECHs. In addition to the live conference, meeting  participants can access all recorded sessions for CECHs (excluding the pre-conference workshops) on SOPHE's CORE system until March 1, 2023.  The National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. has approved SOPHE and its chapters as designated multiple-event providers of CECHs in health education.  SOPHE is approved by the National Board of Public Health Examiners as a provider of CPH Renewal Credits for those certified in public health.  The conference has been approved to award up to 59.5 CPH Renewal Credits.

In order to receive credit, you must view the sessions in live or on-demand format and answer a brief survey. If you have questions about CE, please email education@sophe.org.

Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers or the room where the conference is being broadcast is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
