Over at the Government Innovators Network, they’re sponsoring a webinar series on elder abuse. The next one is March 22nd at 3pm ET and it will focus on forensic markers.

New Directions in the Delivery of Continuing Education

January 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment

ReachMD has a podcast on new directions in the delivery of CME content that might be pretty interesting for those of you who plan conferences and other educational offerings.
