Patient Education Webinars follow a Town Hall format. The invited speaker may or may not present information before opening up the “floor” for questions. Attendees will “raise their hand” to ask questions.
Webinars are offered at no cost to attendees. Questions can be submitted prior to the webinar to becky@pemphigus.org and will be answered in the order they are received. When you connect to the conference you will be placed on MUTE. You will either hear HOLD music or one of the IPPF team talking and providing additional instructions.
Calls are not toll-free; however, you can participate using your computer’s microphone and speakers, tablet (iPad), smart phone, or standard telephone.
The IPPF uses GoToWebinar for our Patient Education Webinars. If you need assistance, email becky@pemphigus.org.
