NCMA Audio Seminars

What are audio seminars?

NCMA’s audio seminars are live, 90-minute events, much like talk radio programs. Generally, the speakers use prepared slides (or a topical outline) that are sent to the participating sites through e-mail approximately two days prior to the seminar. We use a professional, third-party company to engineer and broadcast the program, work the registration, and run the phone bridge. The typical format of the program is for the speaker(s) to make a 60-minute presentation, followed by 30-minute Q&A period (both live over the phone and responding to questions sent in through the Internet during the program). Participants will earn 1.5 CPEs.

How do I order a previously aired audio seminar?

You may contact NCMA directly at 1-800-344-8096 to place an order or use our Audio Seminar Order Form. Recordings typically become available two weeks following the original air date.
