Live Webinars through GoToWebinar
Due to COVID-19 and current social distancing guidelines, Medical Mutual and Professionals Advocate will continue to utilize GoToWebinar to facilitate our live online webinar training. Once you have registered for the program, you will receive an email from Medical Mutual/ProAd containing a URL to register for the webinar with GoToWebinar – you will only need to enter your name and email address into their system. Subsequently, you will receive a confirmation email from GoToWebinar containing a “Join Now” link to access the webinar and instructions on how to do so the day of the event. You will either use your computer’s audio (VoIP) or your telephone for audio. For the best possible experience, please use a desktop or laptop computer with a headset for audio. We do not recommend logging in through your mobile device. Additionally, if you log in with your phone only (using only the dial in option, no internet connection) we cannot provide CME credit or apply the RM discount as you will not have the full capabilities required for a live course. We suggest creating a calendar event to remind you of the webinar. You will also receive additional reminder emails to alert you of the upcoming webinar.
Day of the event: You will receive an email alerting you that the event is about to take place. You may log in 30 minutes prior to the event. You will enter the meeting muted. Any course materials (if applicable) will be attached as handouts that you can access on the side task bar at any time. Once the webinar starts one of our coordinators or speakers will make an announcement. During the program, if you have any questions or comments, please use the chat function and one of our coordinators will alert the presenter and your question will be addressed. Much like our live in-person training, you will need to be present for the entire course. The same “grace period” is applied to webinars (no one admitted to the webinar after 6:30 – see program schedule below for additional details). Once the program is completed, a pop-up window will appear which will ask you to complete a brief evaluation of the course you just attended. We ask that you complete the evaluation to assist us in providing the best possible programs for our insureds. After you have completed the program a copy of your certificate of completion will be emailed to you at the email address you provided.
