Virtual 66th Annual Meeting Program
Chapter leadership determined that COVID-19 would make an April 2022 in-person meeting unlikely. After sending surveys to 1400 members and attendees of recent meetings, and after gaining input from nearly 220 respondents, the Chapter’s Board of Trustees met and decided unanimously to make the April 8-10, 2022 meeting a virtual event. Organizers developed a great educational program for attendees to stay current with advancements in the field. are accustomed to receiving.
Program chairs Justin Peacock MD, PhD and Jose Miranda, MBA, CRA, RT(R)(N) — in collaboration with the program committee — developed an excellent educational event. Attendees at the Virtual 66th Annual Meeting interacted with motivated peers and experts and gained information to promote the quality of their patient care and career.
Our program was approved for up to 19 hours of credit (CME, VOICE/Technologist, ACPE, and CAMPEP credit). We were able to provide 10 hours of SAM credits, too.
