- Intermediate: Intermediate sessions are for participants who have at least a general understanding of the health care environment discussed in the session. Personal work experience or study about the environment is needed to fully appreciate the material. A brief overview of the concepts may be provided in the presentation to make sure the audience is up to speed before diving into the deeper content. Participant should have at least casual exposure to the processes and content discussed in the session description.
- Advanced: These sessions are designed for participants who have personal experience with the processes and content discussed and/or have direct experience with the health care environment being discussed. Participants will need to have worked within that specific care environment to fully appreciate the material presented.
