The countdown is on!
Registration links for the next installment of MRSA PD Days (April 26-28) sessions are provided below — mark your calendars to ensure you snag a spot in your preferred sessions. Speaker profiles can be viewed here.
All sessions will be hosted virtually. Most sessions will take place via Google Meet, however, a few presenters will be hosting via Zoom with their own account. Zoom links will be password protected. Link(s) and applicable access passwords will be sent to you upon registration.
Registration is limited for all sessions; capacity ranges from 40 – 250 depending on the session. You are not expected to attend all sessions; we encourage you to choose a few that are of interest to you and fit into your existing schedule. Keep in mind that space is limited and we want to accommodate as many people as possible in the sessions. If you are unable to attend the majority of the session, please refrain from registering.
Some sessions will be recorded and available for viewing after April PD Days comes to an end, so if you can’t attend that session, you will still have access to the content afterwards.
