Questions and Answers
During all talks, participants can submit questions through the course’s online chat. Speakers will either address questions immediately following their presentation or discuss these questions in panels with other experts that day. This program also includes interactive case-based workshops which often include time for participants to share different approaches and ask questions related to the care of the cases presented.
Year after year, participants report that the Q&A components of this program have advanced their ability to approach the complex and challenging issues seen in their day-to-day practice.
