About the Event

Due to technical issues with our Virtual Platform, some GWCO Congress 2020 attendees were not able to access certain sessions during the September event. Additionally, some attendees were not able to meet time requirements to gain credit for certain courses. GWCO is now providing all Congress registrants with the opportunity to attend repeats of Sessions 1, 4, and 17. We will be hosting these GWCO Congress: CE Make-Up Sessions on November 21, 2020. Attendees can claim up to 5 hours of COPE CE credit. If you have already earned credit for any of these courses you are not eligible to earn additional credit.

Thank you to those who attended these sessions. More information can be found on the GWCO Virtual Platform.
