You can and still should run your UCSF CME events!
The content on this page is to help you envision how to transition your CME courses to a virtual or hybrid (in-person and virtual) format. The UCSF Office of CME is here to support you!
But I’m not tech savvy and don’t know how to run a virtual meeting!
- Our virtual event team is here to help streamline the effort and support your virtual meeting processes.
- We anticipate no increase in the amount of work for the course chairs to run a typical live meeting as well as for guest speakers to present.
But no one will come!
- We anticipate increased attendance, based on our current experience, increase if priced appropriately
- Less barriers for attendees! You can draw a much larger audience by eliminating need to travel, pay for hotel, get a babysitter.
But we will take a financial hit!
- No F&B costs
- No travel expenses for your course faculty
- No meeting room expenses
- Commercial supporters can still participate via virtual exhibit halls, ads, etc
- We will work with you to choose a virtual platform that fits your needs and budget
- Ease of transition to enduring material (potential for additional income)
But it sounds risky!
- No attrition risk from a hotel contract like room block or F&B!
- Safe environment for learners to participate virtually
- Our staff will be there to smooth out technical issues and prepare your faculty
