Peri-operative Pain Management

Would YOU like some free CE? Sign up NOW for What's All This About COX, Docs?: The Next Step in Peri-operative Pain Management. This 1.5 CE credit hour session, sponsored by Novartis, will be held on Sunday during Rounds. Enroll before 8 pm ET, Thursday, October 24, ONLY if you wish to be eligible for the FREE CE credits.

PSST!
Are you a little apprehensive because you signed up for the COX course, but have never used VIN's Unity Conferencing System in Rounds or CE before?

We can help!

Attend one of the COX event practice sessions Tuesday, October 22, or Friday, October 25, at 9 pm ET, and learn how to use VIN's Unity Conferencing System software. (If you have not previously installed Unity, there is a link from the event page.) It is very important that all participants download and install the VIN Unity Conferencing System prior to the session. The process takes approximately 10 minutes, so you will miss a considerable portion of the COX session if you do not do it in advance.
NOTE: If you need help installing the software, call 800-700-4636 or email support@vin.com.
