Course and Session Chairs/Moderators

At SMFM, we have various names for the role of the course and session chairs/moderators (i.e., Course Chair, Forum Leader, and Roundtable Leader). While the title may vary by session, the responsibilities for individuals in this role remain the same. The following is a checklist designed to provide guidance for participants in the role.

Monitor the session for scientific integrity and lack of bias. Interject with clarifying comments or questions if any bias or questionable science is identified.
Provide brief commentaries during the session to help learners understand the importance of the science presented and the relationship between the presentations (if applicable).
Ensuring the course/session runs smoothly and on schedule.
Complete the post meeting chair survey and report any bias from the presenters.
