Engaging discussions take place that allow attendees to learn from the experience of others.

The interactive format of the didactic sessions using the workshop approach has helped me not only to learn about best practices but also to ‘create change’ as practical exercises are run during the two-day course. I feel more confident taking those practical exercises back home and continuing advancing my department based on what I have learned at Con Ed.

Sharing policies and procedures that participant leaders have successfully instituted in their emergency departments and across their health organizations has been very helpful for me to induce positive change in my own department.

This has given me many ideas to take back to my department. I would like more of the faculty at my institution to attend!

[Compared to other CME courses,] IEDLI is more inspirational, more effective because of the interactive format, and more productive through the various networking opportunities.
