What Is a Visiting Professorship Program (VPP)?
A VPP is an opportunity for a medical institution to have a well-known thought leader
spend a morning or afternoon engaged with your staff in an educational program that
addresses strategies for managing patient therapy.
Activities may include a dialectic lecture, case-based studies, or clinical topic discussions
on proper patient selection, pharmacoeconomic issues or current state-of-the-art
treatments to improve outcomes. Up to 4 hours of educational activities may be scheduled.
Who can participate in a VPP?
These programs are intended for hospitals or institutions that are interested in
providing education to their healthcare professionals in the areas of parenteral
or enteral nutrition.
What departments can take advantage of a VPP?
A VPP may be conducted with one or more of the following hospital departments:
- Emergency Medicine
- Gastroenterology
- Intensive Care Unit
- Nursing
- Oncology
- Pediatrics
- Pharmacy
- Surgery
How do I schedule a VPP at my institution?
Please select the faculty and date for your VPP(s) and complete and submit the CME/CE
Activity Request
Form(s). Once received, the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) staff
will confirm the requested visiting professor's availability, program date, and
agenda. ACHL staff will manage all meeting logistics including travel and honoraria,
and will coordinate with the institution’s primary contact to confirm all on-site
arrangements.
How much lead time do I need?
Approximately 30 days are required to fully execute a VPP. Due to faculty availability,
the more lead time granted, the more likely we are to confirm your choice of visiting
faculty.
How many CME/CE credits can I earn?
Various activities are offered for each topic. Each activity is accredited for at
least 1 hour. Participants are able to earn up to 4 complimentary CME/CE credits
by completing the provided enrollment and evaluation forms following participation
in each activity.
Will food and beverages be included?
Yes. Depending on the time of day, breakfast, lunch, or coffee service can be arranged
for participants.
Who will provide the funding?
All costs associated with the program are provided by ACHL through an educational
grant from Baxter Healthcare Corporation.
