We just had a meeting with/presentation from the company I have been in talks with on creating a "virtual oncology practice" for continuing medical education. After a couple preliminary discussions, this meeting had our COO, our IT people, and our Sr. VP for clinical content there. They were all excited and enthusiastic about working on a project like this!
So I got the go ahead from my boss (our COO) and we are going to start some next steps: a formal proposal with cost estimates from the company, a confidentiality agreement, and a master services agreement. These are administrative items that we must complete before we start even thinking about content or program planning.
This will all take some time and we won't get this going until mid-2011 I imagine--we have to get agreements done, plan the program and most importantly, raise the money to do it. But I am excited to be pursuing this and frankly think I wouldn't have been disposed to a positive response to this if it weren't for this course.
So thanks, ADTED 531! :)
First, congratulations! Second, fantastic that you can apply the learning to real-word issues. Good luck!
