Interest in live acute pancreatitis webinar?

Hi everyone! I'm Olivia from Mission: Cure, a pancreatitis patient advocacy organization. We're working on expanding our education library to include more resources on acute pancreatitis, and we're putting together a session on the topic with a pancreatitis specialist. It's meant for anyone who has had acute pancreatitis, and for their family and caregivers.

We typically hold these events as 1 hour live virtual webinars, with a Q&A at the end. Note: all our webinars are recorded, so everyone can watch them on their own time afterward.

For this topic, we're trying to gauge how many people would be interested in joining live (between symptoms, appointments, work, and time zones, we know live doesn't work for everyone). If most people would rather watch a recorded talk rather than join live, we may change the format.

It's very helpful to hear what works best for the community, so we appreciate you taking the time!

To vote on a format option, reply with a number or leave a comment!

  1. Live webinar with a live Q&A
  2. Recorded talk with a live Q&A
  3. Recorded talk and Q&A, with questions collected ahead of time

If there's a topic you'd like covered, let us know. This will help shape the session. Thank you!
