Webinar Session Format

Each of the ten webinars in the series will begin at 12 noon and last one and a half hours, the last 30 minutes of which allows for audience questions and answers and case discussion.

The format is a hybrid between a traditional medical "rounds" and a "talk show."  Sessions will feature one or more guest experts who work in Arizona or are discussing resources or services available to Arizona clinicians.  The webinars will also provide opportunities for interaction including audience polling as well as opportunities for questions and answers.

Attendees will register on line and receive copies of handouts by email.  They will return to the web to complete their evaluation and get their CME certificate.  Each webinar session will consist of an audio component (conference call) and an optional visual component (on-line).
