Planning steps for
Preventive Medicine 2008 sessions
 

 Moderators will:

1. Conduct a conference call of all session participants 2 months before the meeting to discuss content and flow of the session;
    

2. Review material (e.g., power point presentations) of the presenters;
    

3. Write a) the overall abstract for the session and, b) maintenance of certification (MOC) multiple choice questions for the session and draft three to five learning objectives for the session.  These are needed for our CME accreditation through ACCME;
    

4. Meet with the session participants at PM ’08 (either the night before the session or 30 minutes before the session) to introduce yourself and to ensure all audiovisual needs and any other requirements are met; and
    

5. Moderate the session, including formally introducing each speaker, keeping speakers to their time limits, and facilitating questions from the audience.

ACPM Staff will:

1. Send out the formal confirmation letters for the speakers;
    

2. Send out and collect the various forms needed from each speaker;
    

3. Work with the speakers on getting all materials into ACPM on time; and
    

4. Work with the speakers on their audiovisual needs and any other request from the speaker.
