Announcing USPRA’s FIRST EVER Online Conference!
As part of USPRA’s continuing commitment to deliver easily accessible, cutting-edge content, we are pleased to announce an online attendance option for the USPRA 35th Annual Conference. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the program (and earn Continuing Education) at your own pace and from the comforts of your own office—especially if you can’t make it to the conference in person!
How it Works:
We will be recording 12 pre-selected workshops plus the three major general sessions (see below for a complete list) during our 35th Annual Conference, which is scheduled for next week in Boise, Idaho.
These recorded sessions should be available for online viewing about one week (7 days) after the conference. Because you will have complete online access to the sessions for 90 days after the conference, you can easily log-in from your web browser and complete the sessions at your own pace, from the comforts of your own computer. And once you view the presentations, feel free to re-watch them as many times as you’d like!
Benefits of this online conference include no travel costs and no time out of the office—while still enjoying the content of the conference and earning the Continuing Education credits you need. Up to 22.5 hours of Continuing Education may be earned from this online conference.
When you finish viewing a session, and you successfully complete a brief examination for the session, you will get a certificate of credit earned. When you have completed all the sessions you want to, you will check out and we will automatically receive a record of the courses completed.
