PARTICIPANT ENGAGEMENT:
[100-250 words to describe your plan for achieving the learning
objectives through an engaging and dynamic learning
environment. Learner involvement increases the level of learning;
therefore, session designs should incorporate elements such as
knowledge checks, interactive group work, etc.]
Part 2: Recommended Faculty
Identify appropriate experts to serve as session speakers. Please note that each session should
contain a maximum of three faculty (including the session leader and speakers). It is also our goal to
provide balance in the sessions (e.g. speakers from different companies, perspectives, etc.) Feel free
to reach out informally to confirm participation first and then provide details to RAPS staff so formal
invitations can be extended. Please note: If you would like to include a speaker from a health authority,
official invitations and confirmations will be handled by RAPS.
