Available Formats

At this time, all IMPACT Live events are available as a webinar. Please check the scheduled lectures tab to register for upcoming events.

Pre-work Program/ Post-work Quiz
Live events utilize a closed-loop learning experience by providing pre-work programs and post-work quizzes to accompany the lecture events to ensure attendees of the lectures retain concepts taught. The flipped classroom pre-work episodes are developed specifically to introduce key information which may be applied during the live event and encourage engagement between the attendee and faculty. Pre-work is presented by expert faculty in several short, educational episodes. Post-work quizzes allow attendees to revisit topics for a better long-term retention and test their knowledge on concepts taught at the lecture.

Compliance with Sunshine Act
The National Physician Payment Transparency Program (Sunshine Act) is a section of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 that requires pharmaceutical and medical device companies to report to the Federal government certain payments (e.g. meals and other meeting expenses) they make to physicians and teaching hospitals. IMPACT Live programs fully comply with the Sunshine Act and, as a result, payments may be reportable based upon these requirements. For detailed information, please visit www.cms.gov.
