Web Audio Seminar
A webcast audio seminar is a 1-hour telephone conference call supplemented by webcast PowerPoint slides. The webinars are a method of exchanging vital information on timely topics in medical education. The slant of each is geared toward our membership who have responsibility for teaching the basic sciences to those in medical training. We encourage you to visit the IAMSE website for more information. This resource is for UIW employees only (username and password needed).
