ASIP/AMCHP Webinar Series
In their ongoing efforts to support State and Local Maternal and Child Health Programs, the Association of SIDS and Infant Mortality Programs (ASIP) and the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP) are pleased to co-sponsor a series of quarterly webinars to strengthen SUID, SIDS, Infant Safe Sleep and bereavement services across the U.S.
The webinar format allows organizations to broadcast presentations in real time to attendees over the Internet. Participants listen to the speakers deliver their presentations in real time, and watch the accompanying PowerPoint slides on their screens, as if they were in a conference room together.
To broaden and extend the reach of the series, the organizers also capture the presentations as they are delivered over the Internet, and archive them on the pages linked below for interested parties to watch.
Live participants are able to submit questions over the Internet, with the speakers addressing each question for the audience. The Q&A is captured in some of the archived webinars, but not all.
