Webinars
Webinars are live, web based, seminars conducted by the DME MAC A Outreach & Education Team. The DME MAC A Webinars are presented via telephone and the internet. The audio portion is heard over the telephone, via teleconferencing, while the presentation portion is accessed over the internet. Webinar sessions offer interaction very similar to a seminar attended in person, allowing attendees to ask questions, take surveys/quizzes, and chat with the presenters using a built-in chat room feature. Attending a webinar allows attendees to participate in the comfort of their own office, meeting room, or even their own home.
DME MAC A Webinars are offered to the supplier community FREE of charge, and are scheduled periodically throughout the year. Schedules for these events are posted to the DME MAC A Events and Seminars page. Please check back for dates and topics, or keep up to date with additions to our webinar schedule by subscribing to the DME General Interest ListServe.
DME MAC A Webinars are conducted using the tool GoToWebinar* . Emails coming from GoToWebinar (i.e., registrations/confirmations) may be misinterpreted by your system as SPAM email.
