• Session. Refers to a single class or meeting attended by one or more participants as part of a particular MedEd event.
• MedEd Team. Refers to a group of people from various departments or sales teams who are primarily responsible for the planning, execution, and funding of a MedEd event.
• Plan. Refers to a hierarchical collection of MedEd events focused on delivering a specific set of objectives and sharing common funding. For example, the objective might be promotion of a new indication, to gain awareness and increase market share for a particular product. A plan may display aggregated actual cost and attendee information related to every event associated with that plan.
