3. The phone number to phone will be published with the announcement, the code for the conference call is always 1266.

4. If you have Netscape Navigator as your browser the presentation will not work, find a computer with Internet Explorer.

5. If you get an error message when you try to open the presentation, keep trying.

6. If you phone in before anyone else you may get the message that there is no conference call with that code. Just continue to phone back.

You will need:

  • a computer, preferably with a 17" monitor
  • a speaker phone
  • fast Internet connection (T1 or DSL)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer as your Internet browser
  • to be at the URL or web address www.nahec-wi.org/RTT

The presentation, ideally, lasts for approximately 45 minutes and then there is 15 minutes for a question and answer period.

The presentation for the topic/case is created in PowerPoint and then e-mailed to the Northern Wisconsin AHEC office. NAHEC publishes the presentation on the web and a date and time for the conference is chosen for the conference call. The attendees only need a phone and a connection to the Internet using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Virtual Rounds is easy because you can do it from anywhere as long as you have a phone and an Internet connection. This means that you could attend from home or the office.
