AIHce Professional Development Courses (PDCs) are an excellent learning resource selected by a rigorous, competitive review process. This attention ensures a quality educational experience, and as a result, the majority of AIHA PDCs consistently rank high in student and peer evaluations and overall satisfaction — an average 4.0 on a 5.0 scale.
Deepen knowledge in your field and explore new topics outside your area of expertise. Choose from over 70 two-day, one day, and half-day courses covering a variety of topics. PDCs are held Saturday and Sunday prior to the conference.

Coming in January

This distinctive logo identifies “Green PDCs.” Instructors have opted to eliminate paper handouts and offer electronic materials. Electronic handouts offer a variety of benefits:

• Advance course preparation. Materials will be distributed electronically via two formats, allowing:
  • color with a comment-enabled capability
  • black and white “printer-friendly
• Full color images will allow participants to view content nuances on each page
• Bookmarks will provide a “table of contents” to better navigate materials; additionally, handouts will be text searchable adding further convenience when looking to reference specific information  
• Live links provide instant access to additional references and materials
• Convenient, portable handouts are easily stored, referenced, managed and retained
• Last minute information will be incorporated due to the quick production process
• Minimizes the negative impact on the environment by giving participants the option to save, print or transfer files to a portable device
