On Friday, 28 June, the WMDA Education Committee will organise another in-person workshop for search coordinators. This session will not have a hybrid setting, so we encourage search coordinators to sign up and attend in person. We offer special pricing for search coordinators, but be aware that the Regular Rate is only available until 31 March, after which the price will rise to a Late Rate.
The program will be very informative and interactive again. This is the preliminary program:
| 13:00-13:10 | Welcome and Introduction by Kristin Naruko, chair-elect of the Education Committee |
| 13:10-14:00 | Tools to use: interactive session where attendees can share their favorite search tools and how they use them (participants will be requested to prepare in advance) |
| 14:00-14:30 | Presentation: Managing mismatches and which settings to use for mismatches by NMDP |
| 14:30-15:00 | First search case: mismatched search (20 minutes to work in teams to discuss the case and 10 minutes for plenary discussion) |
| 15:00-15:30 | BREAK |
