CMEPlanet.com Introduces Live Symposium Webcasts

April 30, 2009 - PRLog -- In response to reduced travel budgets and efforts to expand offerings to local clinicians, CMEPlanet introduced live webcasts of CME symposia in March 2009.  "We recognized that clinicians' travel budgets are declining. The need; however, for physicians to engage in interactive discussion with key opinion leaders remains", said Jonathan Stotler, CEO of Voxmedia.

Online archives of symposia, traditionally video of the symposium synchronized with PowerPoint slides, have grown significantly over the past few years.  They remain a valuable resource and compendium of reference materials.  With the live webcasting; however, CMEPlanet is able to offer the participant the ability to interact with the speakers by directing questions to them and having the questions answered dynamically as if he or she were in the room. The live webcasting not only brings the symposium into the physicians' office, but brings the education to healthcare practitioners who traditionally do not have a travel budget for continuing medical education.

These events were not part of the official ACC Annual Scientific Session and/or the American College of Cardiology’s Innovation in Intervention: i2 Summit in Partnership with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) as planned by their Program Committees.
