Planning a Chapter Seminar: It’s Really Not So Difficult

Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Uncertainty of the commitments involved should not keep your chapter from putting on a seminar. The fear of the unknown does not have to become a barrier. In this session we discuss time frames, costs and logistics from the beginning of planning to the very end, as well as evaluation of the seminar. Taking a realistic approach enables chapters to gain the confidence to organize successful seminars—and to start planning very soon.

List processes for marketing, advertising and communication of date, time and location of a successful seminar, including timeliness.
