F.A.Q
Why the new system?
How will this change affect me?
I created my profile. Now what?
You can also check out what else is on the calendar throughout our region by clicking on the Event Calendar button.
If you experience any relevant changes in the future (new job, degree, email address, etc.), please indicate those changes in your profile by clicking the Update Your Information button.
If you have any questions or experience any bugs with our new system, please let us know by clicking Registration and Account Support.
Will my credits be stored in my profile?
If you need actual accreditation hours of any type (CME, CNE, NASW, etc.) you will access those outside of the registration system. For Webcast Wednesdays, the credit process will remain the same: CME is tracked through Vanderbilt’s credit website, and nursing and social work credits are requested on a week-to-week basis.
Must I provide my e-mail address?
Because e-mail addresses are unique, it is effective method of providing a unique ID.
If you ever signed up for any of our training events using our old registration system, you were prompted to enter a “Unique ID number” made up of the first two letters of your first and last name and the month and date of your birth (John Smith, born January 1 = JOSM0101). Our funding is supplied by a federal grant, and that number is how we are required to track who attends our training events. While a bit cumbersome to describe, it is intended to be easy to remember and consistent across the country.
Your e-mail address is used as the ID for our funding provider. However, we do not share it with any other entity. We provide our presenters with aggregated (de-identified) data so we can continue to improve our training.
