14ECF Workshop - International collaboration in online Continuing Medical Education across the Americas, with Alvaro Margolis

This is the first of several podcast episodes featuring a workshop leader discussing their session for the 14th Annual European CME Forum, held virtually 3-5 November 2021. In this episode Eugene Pozniak (European CME Forum) is joined by Alvaro Margolis (EviMed) to discuss his upcoming workshop: International collaboration in online Continuing Medical Education across the Americas.

The theme for the meeting this year is “The 3-legged stool: Achieving balance for effective CME”. Effective CME-CPD requires a stable relationship between three key factors, just as a three-legged stool requires all three legs to remain balanced. In this year’s meeting we will examine the spectrum of control and influence in each “leg”.
