CONTENT VALIDATION

An important service offered by OCPD is its comprehensive Clinical Content Review Service. As an extension of its own CME content validation, this service is offered to other organizations for a fee. The faculty members comprising the service ensure that the content is appropriate to the target audience, that all treatment recommendations reflect the best available evidence and identify potential commercial and other bias. For more information on the Clinical Content Review Service, please contact Danielle Hepting at (608) 265-2269 or danielle.hepting@wisc.edu.
