Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make AMCP Nexus 2021 a success!
Volunteers played a key role in the success of Nexus 2021. Through your help, our fall meeting was a memorable experience for the managed care professionals who attended.
Education Session Moderators
Each education session has a volunteer moderator assigned to it. Moderators make housekeeping announcements at the beginning and end of the session, introduce faculty, keep the session on track with scheduled start and end times, facilitate the Q&A period, and ensure that no product endorsements occur during the session. In addition, moderators are provided with a script to follow.
