“Be the SPARK” is a no-cost, interactive tobacco treatment implementation assistance program that gives healthcare professionals the tools needed to integrate evidence-based strategies into everyday care for populations facing significant tobacco-related cancer disparities. Designed with busy clinicians in mind, the course blends research-driven education with real-world application to help providers improve prevention, treatment, and survivorship outcomes.
Participants will receive a comprehensive, implementation-ready curriculum designed for clinicians, care managers, and behavioral health professionals working in underserved rural areas, low-income communities, behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment programs, and HIV care settings.
Offered through the University of Pennsylvania/Penn Medicine, the program is currently recruiting participants for Year 2, with a specific goal of increasing participation among rural health providers. The next cohort will start September 11, 2026.
