October 07, 202114ECF Workshop - International collaboration in online Continuing Medical Education across the Americas, with Alvaro Margolis
This is the first of several podcast episodes featuring a workshop leader discussing their session for the 14th Annual European CME Forum, held virtually 3-5 November 2021. In this episode Eugene Pozniak (European CME Forum) is joined by Alvaro Margolis (EviMed) to discuss his upcoming workshop: International collaboration in online Continuing Medical Education across the Americas.
