LIVEAMA

Friday, August 28, 2020, 12:00 PM - Friday, October 2, 2020, 12:00 PM, Live Webinar Series, NA, VA

We have been closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 in our community and throughout the United States. In order to safeguard the health and well-being of our learners, faculty, staff and communities, we have made the decision to change the Primary Care Essentials Conference into a live online six-week series on Fridays from 12:00 P.M to 1:00 P.M. kicking off on Friday, August 28th. No in-person sessions will be held that day. We are making this change to give you the pertinent information you need now in a format that adheres to current US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Virginia Department of Health (VDH) guidelines on social interaction.
