Webinars

These clinically relevant, highly focused sessions are delivered by experts in each respective area and are offered in a flexible distance-based format. The intent behind the webinar (live presentation streamed over the internet) offerings is to deliver easily accessible continuing professional education directly to your home/work.

Webinar registrants can participate in one of two ways:
1. View the webinar live over the internet
2. View the recorded webinar at a later date, at your convenience

How to Register for an Event
To register for a webinar click on the registration link provided for the event posted in the Upcoming Webinars section of the website. You will be asked to complete a brief registration process and will create your login information (email address and password). Please make a record of this information so you will be able to gain access the online meeting room and participate in the webinar on the day of the event. Once you have registered for an event you will be sent a confirmation email with the link to the online meeting room.

On the day of the event follow the link sent in the confirmation email and access the online meeting room using the email address and password you used at the time of registration.

System Requirements

Before entering any LIVE webinar please run the meeting connection diagnostic test by clicking here.

We recommend installing the Adobe Connect add-in for a more rich viewing experience.

A wired internet connection is recommended but a strong wireless signal, preferable 802.11N, will work. If audio and/or video is cutting out or buffering it is most likely due to an inconsistent or weak wireless signal.

The latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers are supported.

The latest version of Adobe Flash is recommended.

How to View a Recorded Event
If you have previously registered for a webinar event you can login to view recorded presentations using the email address and password you used at the time of registration. Click on the link ‘for those who have already registered or attended’ to login and view the recording.

If you have not previously registered please click on the 'for new registrants' link and complete a brief registration process to obtain access to the recording.
