A general workshop is a structured learning sessions bringing cardiovascular specialists together to learn new skills, techniques, or knowledge in a specific subject or topic. Workshops are required to be interactive and hands-on, providing participants with practical experience and opportunities to apply what they have learned.
Typically, an educational workshop involves a chair who leads the session, providing instruction, guidance, and support to the participants, as well as subject matter expert presenters who can provide a deeper understanding and mastery of a particular skill or subject, allowing participants to apply this knowledge in their practice. CCS Affiliates and educational partners can endorse a workshop, but this is not the same as an Affiliate Spotlight session. They are are 60 minutes in length.
Submissions can be from a wide range of medical education topics, with interactive and innovative approaches to learning.
A multi-discipline session incorporates a multidisciplinary approach to program design by being developed by multiple affiliate and educational partners, including CCCN, CSCT, CACH, CAIC, CCON, CCTN, CANCARE, CCPN, CHFS, CHRS, CPCA, CSCS, CSCMRI, CNCT, CSE, and CSVM. These submissions should embrace the program design of a General Workshops, as indicated above.
