Setting Up Sessions Within a MedEd Event

This task is a step in Process of Managing MedEd Events.

A MedEd event can be a single presentation, such as a lunch-and-learn where participants listen to a single speaker, or it can be composed of multiple individual sessions covering different subject areas. A session consists of a single class or meeting attended by one or more participants of a MedEd event. Because certain types of information are only associated with sessions, users must create at least one session for an event if they want to:

  • Track speaker participation

  • Associate one or more literature items with the event

  • Associate materials or equipment items with the event

  • Register participants for the event using their Physician Portal Web site and MedEd for Customers software

MedEd is designed to allow participants to register for individual sessions, whether at one-session or at multiple session events.

Note: MedEd event participants can use the optional MedEd for Customers module to register for MedEd sessions at your Physician Portal Web site. However, participants can only register at the session level. For reasons of configuration flexibility, event-level registration must be entered manually in the Invitee Status field in the Invitee view.
