There have been many factors that have influenced Member Societies annual meetings due to the pandemic. This presentation will provide the results of a research project funded by a grant provided by the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) on both member and societies surveys of post pandemic views of national conferences.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize the benefits of broad participation and collaboration across medical specialty societies
Confirm the major pivot in educational offerings and learner behaviors that occurred across medical specialty societies in response to the pandemic
Analyze the impact of the pivot on medical specialty society staffing as well as future CPD offerings and innovations.
Learners may engage in further reflection and investigation of their own medical specialty society’s changes in educational offerings and learner behaviors during the height of the pandemic
Learners may utilize findings from this research and presentation to promote CPD innovation and enhance program evaluation with the goal of meeting the needs and interests of member learners.
