This training presents ways to make your large meetings or conferences and small staff meetings more interesting and effective. Meetings that provide opportunities for participants to interact and network with each other and provide information on the latest developments in diabetes care can enhance overall patient care. Our goal is to enliven meetings that can too often become routine and boring. Information is included on how to facilitate a variety of techniques during your meetings such as panel discussions; brainstorming, role playing and others. We encourage you to experiment with alternative ways of setting up your meetings. In this way, you will enhance the contributions of everyone and make life a lot more interesting at work.
