AIHce presents several professional development courses (PDCs) prior to the start of the conference. These courses are formalized learning experiences that, through in-depth instruction by field experts, enhance technical competence and provide practical tools and skills for the modern workplace.
PDCs are held on Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22, prior to AIHce’s Opening Session, and are half-, one-, or two-day courses. All PDCs include a free networking lunch. You can search for PDCs using our targeted search page.
