HRS, as an ACCME-accredited provider of accredited continuing education (ACE), requires that all faculty follow the guidelines set forth in Standard 4 of ACCME's Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education when presenting in an HRS-provided educational activity. As such, you are expected to present education that is fair and balanced. All clinical content presented should support safe, effective patient care. In addition:

1. All recommendations for patient care in accredited continuing education must be based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning, while giving a fair and balanced view of diagnostic and therapeutic options.
2. All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in accredited education in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
3. Although accredited continuing education is an appropriate place to discuss, debate, and explore new and evolving topics, these areas need to be clearly identified as such within the program and individual presentations. Engagement in these topics should not advocate for or promote practices that are not, or not yet, adequately based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning.

Speaker Resource Center Hours

I want to practice my presentation in New Orleans. Will there be an area to do this?
A rehearsal space is allocated inside the Speaker Resource Center in New Orleans. Hours are listed above. The room is equipped with the same equipment we have in the session rooms and will allow you to rehearse prior to your presentation.

What does the area we are presenting in New Orleans look like?
In most rooms, stages will be set with comfortable chairs for presenters. There will be no podiums. You can present from a seated position, utilizing a handheld microphone and a wireless slide advancer. You may also choose to stand near the presentation computer and present from that area.

How will attendees interact with me during my presentation?
Each session room will be equipped with an audience mic so that attendees can ask questions and interact with faculty. Attendees can also submit questions through our audience response system (ARS). This mobile friendly tool can be accessed by attendees through the mobile app or through a url link that will be posted in the room for each session. If you are interested in including slides where you ask the learners to participate (i.e., polls or multiple-choice questions), please refer to the basic uses for Conference i/o. Review the FAQs and visit the Speaker Resource Center onsite in New Orleans to finalize and practice your presentation.

I have questions about the Audience Response System (ARS) that will be used at #HRS2023. Who do I speak with?
Stop by the Speaker Resource Center onsite to speak to one of our technicians about ARS.
