Using Simulation to Train Medical Device Users and Marketers

Simulation can be a powerful tool for educating your marketing staff and customers on the proper use of medical devices, creating better trained users and in turn, improving patient safety. It is also a technology tool that can be leveraged by both medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers to benefit physicians and patients, while creating positive returns for sales and marketing.

This audio conference explores the advantages of using simulation for training, marketing and sales to improve the rollout of devices to a user community. It also includes an overview of adult learning strategies and how simulation addresses the needs of the adult learner.

Using Simulation to Train Medical Device Users and Marketers is being presented by Lura Wolfe, Technical Quality Engineer, with Medical Simulation Corporation and airs on Thursday, August 20, 2009. For more details or to register for this event, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

How do Executives Evaluate Distance Training?

According to the American Society for Training and Development, over $30 billion was spent in 2006 on "technologically-mediated training." This is about 25% of all the funds spent on training in the United States that year. Is this large expenditure actually improving performance? How is distance training evaluated by executives who make these important budgeting decisions?

This conference presents the results of a two-year study of how executives evaluate distance training, which shows that executives use a wide variety of standards to evaluate distance training. Attendees learn how to use best practice to evaluate the success of their distance training programs.

How do Executives Evaluate Distance Training? is being presented by Dr. Paul Hardt, Core Faculty Trainer, with Capella University and airs on Thursday, July 2, 2009. For more details or to register for this event, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
