Hi,  
We have a course that is being offered Live and is in 3 different time zones. How do you handle this?  
Any suggestions?

Thanks,  
Colleen

The Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency (DHA), J7 Continuing Education Program Office (CEPO) offers our CE activities “live” worldwide. Since we are located in the East Coast, we use the Eastern Standard Time (EST) and ensure that it is communicated in our outreach and dissemination tactics.

There is no problem for our homestudy sessions since healthcare providers worldwide can participate at their own time, pace.
