Sponsored by Global Academy for Medical Education
A repeat of one of our most successful offerings from last fall, this session will focus on case-based scenarios that highlight a variety of issues faced within our industry and allow our panelists to brainstorm viable solutions. There is even a twist – each panel of respondents will only be given their case 24 hours in advance (we’ll also put the description of our website at the same time) to add some real-world time pressure to the situation.

Grant Review MythBusters

Sponsored by Forefront Collaborative
No one actually reads my proposals. Grantors already know who they are going to approve before reviewing applications. I need at least Level 5 outcomes to get approved. These are just some of the grant review “myths” that our esteemed group of panelists will be discussing. Will they be busted, confirmed, or plausible? Join us on October 18 to find out!

Outcomes: A Study in Three Acts
Sponsored by Practicing Clinicians Exchange
Click here to view the archive
Johnny was a small town boy with big dreams. He didn’t want play football, work in the mill, marry his high school sweetheart. Johnny had questions no one cared to answer. Toe the line, they said. Don’t make waves. And they were winning. But just before all hope was lost, the Quasi came to town and so too, a new way of looking at old problems. Suddenly, that voice in Johnny’s head took form. Would he step up and embrace a new future? Would the town? Would the bedrock of everything everyone had ever known be shattered? Or would status quo yield its mighty sword and secrets remain secrets?
Sounds like a freakin’ awesome straight-to-Netflix Jean-Claude Van Damme career reboot. Would you believe it’s actually an allegory of CME outcomes? Yes…that means you, reading this now, are on the precipice. Time to decide on the red or blue pill. This session will literally change your life…unless of course, it doesn’t.
We’re going to follow Johnny as he learns about study design, data collection, and analysis. In the end, we’ll all have some practical new tools for enhancing our outcomes practice. We know the powers-that-be would rather you do something else at 3 pm (eastern) on Wednesday, October 18, but we believe in the prophecy. You are the chosen one.

Building a Better Grant Request
Sponsored by ASiM
Click here to view the archive
We hear frequently from pharma funders regarding what they look for in a grant request, but what about those providers who consistently develop proposals that get funded? What’s their secret? In this session, we’ve gathered representatives from four accredited providers who were consistently cited as excelling in the development of comprehensive grant proposals to learn about how they build successful proposals. Who is involved in the process, what are the key components, and how do they make them unique?
