About the ACCME 2020 Online Meeting

We appreciate the extraordinary challenges that CE educators are facing in helping the clinician community respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Your work is of vital importance—especially now—and we are committed to supporting you as you support the healthcare teams currently on the front lines.

In an effort to support the rapidly expanding and evolving needs of our community, we hosted the ACCME 2020 Online Meeting on the afternoon of Thursday, May 7 and the morning of Friday, May 8. The goal of the ACCME 2020 Online Meeting was to provide an accessible, virtual platform where our community of educational leaders could connect, learn from and with one another, demonstrate our community’s vitality and creativity, and be supported and inspired in these challenging and uncertain times.

Meeting Components

The agenda for the ACCME 2020 Online Meeting included a variety of session types and formats to optimize learning. We offered Plenary Webinars, Concurrent Sessions, a Research Chat opportunity, and Colleague Chat Sessions throughout the schedule - all designed to provide attendees with opportunities to both "listen and learn" as well as connect with peers “face-to-face."

Below is more information about the different components of the meeting:

Plenary Webinars - hosted in a traditional webinar format, these large group learning sessions featured ACCME staff and guest faculty sharing helpful
information and strategies. Participants had the
opportunity to engage in these webinars via chat and polling functions.

Concurrent Sessions - the Concurrent Sessions were similar to our breakout sessions at the in-person meeting. We convened a smaller group of participants than the larger webinars and employ some more interactive tools for these sessions. During the sessions, participants had the opportunity to move into smaller breakout groups where they could engage in "face-to-face" discussion with peers. We leveraged webcams to help facilitate "face-to-face" conversations.
Research Chat Session - throughout the week of the ACCME 2020 Online Meeting, participants had the chance to explore the CME research projects that were submitted via our Call for Proposals. Then, on Thursday afternoon, we set aside time to connect with the researchers and ask questions about their project. Participants came to this session with great questions about both the topics that our researchers explored as well as "how to do" research for CME.
Colleague Chat Sessions - modeled on the "Homeroom" sessions at the in-person meeting, we wanted to be sure to build some time into the agenda for participants to connect with peers. During the Colleague Chat Sessions, we facilitated small group conversations so attendees could share key takeaways from the sessions they attended as well as hear what pearls their colleagues had picked up. This was another opportunity where webcams enhanced the experience.
