  3. Click on the title of the training you would like to access.
  4. Select the "Contents" tab, accept the acknowledgement statement and click on the webinar component.
  5. When the early log in period opens, usually 15 minutes before the event, you will be prompted to "Enter Live Event In Progress".
    If you log in before the early log in period, you will see a message stating "Live event not started". If you see this message, refresh your browser within 15 minutes of the webinar start time.

Will I have access to recordings of webinars I attended?

We do not record our webinars. All training sessions are live events as we encourage interaction between the trainers and the participants. A live platform also provides a more personalized experience. Most trainers will provide helpful handouts and resources after the event.

Registration and Cancellation FAQs

How do I register for a training event?

YOU MUST CREATE AN ACCOUNT AND LOG IN TO REGISTER FOR AVAILABLE TRAINING SESSIONS
Once an account has been created, you will be able to register for any available training event.

Locate the training session you would like to attend and simply click the yellow "Register (FREE!)" button. You will receive an email from EBPCTraining@som.umaryland.edu confirming your registration.

If a training has reached the maximum registration limit, can I add my name to a waiting list?

Yes. If a training has reached the maximum registration limit a box will appear in the upper right-hand corner. You will receive a notice stating the "Registration is Closed. Maximum Number of Registrants reached." 

Click the "Join Waiting List" button. When selected, you will receive a confirmation email. You can remove yourself from the list at any time. 

If an opening becomes available, you will receive a Waiting List Notification email. You will then be able to access the training registration again. Please note: Registrations from the waiting list are on a first come, first served basis.

How do I cancel a registration if my schedule changes?

If you registered for a training event and you are no longer able to attend, we ask that you send us an email at EBPC@som.umaryland.edu to cancel your registration. Some of our trainings fill up quickly and your cancellation will allow someone else to attend in your place.
