BrianSMcGowan            T5 - i am looking for groups that are re-engineering the data stream ;-) t.co/0LvBxJ3X #CMEchat #aceph12

theCMEguy       T5: Tip - participate. Engage. Share. Do something! Be an active learner #cmechat #acehp12

BrianSMcGowan            #totd RT @MedPedsDoctor: I guess I will learn that those who preach adult learning practices don't always practice said preaching #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            t5 - i think we each need to be empowered as learners. don't let the faculty off the hook if they are glazing over details #CMEchat #aceph12

spelletier           #TOTD RT @MedPedsDoctor: Time for a new hashtag #CMEculturechangestartsnow #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor            I guess I will learn that those who preach adult learning practices don't always practice said preaching #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            t5 - i hope we can all regather next week at #CMEchat and share best lessons - share data we learned - share learning #CMEchat #acehp12

spelletier           You go first! RT @theCMEguy: My goal this year at #acehp12 is to  walk up to a microphone during a session...and say something.  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor            Time for a new hashtag #CMEculturechangestartsnow #CMEchat

spelletier           Wish: That #acehp12 really showcases good adult learning practices IRL. Esp just coming from #pcma12 which did just that #cmechat

theCMEguy       My goal this year at #acehp12 is to actually walk up to a microphone during a session...and say something. #cmechat #pushingboundaries

rmtyner not always quick with change RT @MedPedsDoctor: So Brian, why do you think CME profs are slow to warm with regard to ed tech?  #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            @MedPedsDoctor - and it is partially do to the power differential b/w a CME planner and the physician learners/faculty... #CMEchat

theCMEguy       “@BrianSMcGowan: t4 - BTW - i have pledged to pay for his beers...#CMEChat” >> Hey-O! #score

CMEChat          T5 – What tricks or tips do you have to share so we can all get the most out of #acehp12? #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            So Brian, why do you think CME profs are slow to warm with regard to ed tech?  #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            t4 - BTW - i have pledged to pay for his beers...#CMEChat

BrianSMcGowan            @MedPedsDoctor yup t.co/GkyGSjNv #acehp12 #CMEchat

theCMEguy       “@spelletier: Ditto! RT @BrianSMcGowan: t4 - i want to get @theCMEguy three or four job offers ;-) #cmechat” >> +1000!

BrianSMcGowan            t4 - my number one goal is the engage more CME professionals in ed Tech discussion - and pilot projects #CMEchat #acehp12

jjuch     T4: make new contacts, learn more about MOC/MOL, future trends, and of course, any insights into grants #cmechat

spelletier           Ditto! RT @BrianSMcGowan: t4 - i want to get @theCMEguy three or four job offers ;-) #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor            Is #acehp12 registered with foxepractice Healthcare Hashtags? t.co/OQ2knoQL  #CMEchat

theCMEguy       T4: networking, networking, networking. It's an odd switch for me this year. #cmechat

spelletier           @jjuch No matter how many times I go to those funding and regs sessions, I always learn something new #acehp12 #cmechat

khalidalmatrafi   RT @BrianSMcGowan: t4 - i want to get @theCMEguy three or four job offers ;-) #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            t4 - i want to get @theCMEguy three or four job offers ;-) #CMEchat

medikly Do you agree? Loss of commercial support for CME results in lower quality, more expensive CME: t.co/s2pQGH8b #cmechat #meded

MedPedsDoctor            T4. connections, networking opportunities, and some new fuzzy dice #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            @spelletier  - t.co/GkyGSjNv we should have hashtag data in near real time ;-) #acehp12 #cmechat

jjuch     "RT @spelletier: t3  funding, accme" Always full rooms #cmechat

theCMEguy       @spelletier ohhhh...I feel kinda sorry for you. #notfun #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor            @cmewriter I like that idea #acehp12 #thanksforexplainingsubhashtagconceptduringatweetchat #CMEchat

CMEChat          T4 – What  do you hope to take away from #aceph12 this year? #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            @BrianSMcGowan yes, face time works for me as well.  Will discuss Sat morning #CMEchat

spelletier           t3 I try to go to what I think our readers want to know about, not necessarily what I want, so anything to do with funding, accme #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            @spelletier - t.co/RYit4tx3 #acehp12 #cmechat

cmewriter          Works to add 2nd hash w/ session ID. e.g., #acehp12 #M37 RT @theCMEguy: @MedPedsDoctor Tweet sub-hash into #acehp12 stream.  #cmechat

rmtyner i am looking for tech as well as adult learning theories #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            @spelletier - should be included in the heatlhcare hashtag project AND searchhash #acehp12 #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            @MedPedsDoctor - i think has tags all collect under the lest common digit string #CMEchat #CMEchatters #CMEchatinators

spelletier           Any idea how to archive #acehp12 now that TwapperKeeper has gone away (at least the free version)? Do we want to? #cmechat

theCMEguy       Looking to anything dealing with new tech in CME #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            t3 - this year I'm probably going to stick to the ed tech sessions...unless I can support a peer who needs a familiar face #CMEchat #acehp12

dean_jenkins     T3 - the emerging technologies help station looks good at #acehp12  #cmechat

spelletier           @BrianSMcGowan @MedPedsDoctor the problem with subhashtags is that they can take up too many characters, not a lot of rm for mssg #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor            With the unique identifier, can someone still do a search on the main hashtag to count the total for the entire meeting? #CMEchat

cmewriter          Me too — worked well. RT @jjuch: T2: i followed hashtag...looked to see what others were tweeting about/said they liked #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            @MedPedsDoctor  - sure thing..or facetime? #CMEchat

theCMEguy       @MedPedsDoctor Have considered this before. Tweet sub-hash into #acehp12 stream.  Might get confusing for newbs? #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            these are the hardest to find (good ones) RT @laurenero: @CMEChat anything on PI CME.  it's a huge project for me in 2012. #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            So the tweet up is Monday night?  I booked residency interviewing that day, so I'll be back in Indy then.  Skype me in?? #CMEchat

laurenero           @spelletier good point! #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            .@MedPedsDoctor - each session has a 3-4 digit unique identifier  #CMEchat for exmple: #acehp12SA2

laurenero           @CMEChat anything on PI CME.  it's a huge project for me in 2012. #CMEchat

rmtyner i am going to say 3288 #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            Has anyone done a meeting w "sub-hashtags", since there are so many sessions and all will have the #acehp12 hashtag? #CMEchat

CMEChat          t2 - how about we each try a different application for the tweetstream and regroup at the #acehp12 tweet-up #CMEchat

spelletier           @laurenero faculty is imp to me too, but I also want to find new voices. Can be a bit of an echo chamber at #acehp12 sometimes #cmechat

theCMEguy       “@BrianSMcGowan: I am setting the line at 1923 RT @MedPedsDoctor: care to guess what the...   #CMEchat” >> I'll go 1924. #priceisrightpro

jjuch     @spelletier T2: i followed hashtag last year and when I was at a dud, looked to see what others were tweeting about/said they liked #cmechat

CMEChat          T3 – What (sessions) are you most looking forward to at #acehp12? #CMEchat [you dont have to be too specific ;-)]

laurenero           @spelletier hmmm...the faculty is really important to my choice.   #CMEchat

dean_jenkins     T2 - Hover in the doorway as a precaution is my usual policy. RT @spelletier  spotting dud sessions? #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            I am setting the line at 1923 RT @MedPedsDoctor: care to guess what the final # of tweets from hashtag #acehp12 will be?   #CMEchat

spelletier           @MedPedsDoctor thx for reco on Streamboard—will have to try it for #acehp12 #cmechat

theCMEguy       @spelletier I base a lot on the presenter. Not foolproof, of course... #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            T2 - i also like to stay flexible and see what other people i respect are attending... #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            Anyone care to guess what the final # of tweets from hashtag #acehp12 will be?  1000?  10,000?   #CMEchat

spelletier           t2 any tips for being able to tell what may be a dud session from a good one, given that abstracts are so old? #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            t2 - 1 half speaker experience, 1 half topic and 1 half timing #aceph12 #CMEchat

dean_jenkins     @theCMEguy no :-( ... long story.  #cmechat

spelletier           @jjuch I like TweetChat for following #acehp12 hashtag #cmechat

theCMEguy       @dean_jenkins Not going this year? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor            @jjuch Newest cool app to follow, which seems faster that Tweetchat, is "Streamboard".  info comes up within 1 second #CMEchat

laurenero           @MedPedsDoctor definitely!  Otherwise you may end up in a dud session. #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            t2- psyched that we have more than 100 signed up for the preconference on ed tech...#CMEchat #aceph12

theCMEguy       “@MedPedsDoctor: T2. You read the entire 292 page final program?? #CMEchat” >> um...well...no. Narrow by title 1st, then read abstracts

jjuch     Anyone have a favorite app for iphone to follow a hashtag? Been using twitter but wondering if something better? #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            @MedPedsDoctor t2 - the tags work for some but i tend to ignore them...abstracts are 9 months old and tags are a bit ambiguous... #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            but it will always simply be 'the alliance' RT @cmewriter: T2 Trying to figure out how to pronounce "acehp" #acehp12 #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            T2. Man, you all are intense.  You read the entire 292 page final program?? #CMEchat

theCMEguy       T2: Setting up meetings w/ people; reviewing abstracts; repeating #acehp12 100x a day to remember... #cmechat

rmtyner t2 i have sketched out the sessions that I want to attend - and will make final decision on site #CMEchat

jjuch     T2: set time aside on Fri to look at abstracts #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan            think antiseptic - a-sep -  RT @cmewriter: T2 Trying to figure out how to pronounce "acehp" #acehp12 #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            Monday at 6PM looks like the time...time is to be decided. RT @spelletier: When is the #acehp12 tweetup? #cmechat

cmewriter          T2 Trying to figure out how to pronounce "acehp" #acehp12 #CMEchat

spelletier           t2 I haven't yet, but hope to go through the abstracts before I get on the plane at least! #cmechat

laurenero           Lauren here from Maryland.  I read every abstract in advance and narrow down choices by time. #CMEchat

CMEChat          t2 - i think so much of my prep time goes into the presentations I am giving, need to dedicate some me time to session reviews #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor            My contribution to this conversation is this: get the @Evernote Hello app.  Looks amazing: perfect for such a meeting! #CMEchat

rmtyner T2 looking at the weather report! #CMEchat

spelletier           When is the #acehp12 tweetup? #cmechat

rmtyner keep an open mind... some of my best ideas came from conversations with people who disagree with me #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan            t1 - best session of last year IMO was the @ACCinTouch describing thier in situ simulations - just brilliant! #CMEchat

theCMEguy       T1: Fav moment from #acehp12, my very first conf 10 yrs ago, looking around realizing how many others were in the same boat as me #cmechat

spelletier           T1 total cliche, but hallway convos that have turned into lasting relationships are among my best #acehp experiences #cmechat
