Activity Type = Valid ACCME PARS reporting types (Course, Regularly Scheduled Series, Internet Live Course, Enduring Material, Internet Activity Enduring Material, Journal-based CME, Manuscript Review, Test Item Writing, Committee Learning, Performance Improvement, Internet Searching and Learning & Learning from Teaching). These are the ONLY types allowed per ACCME reporting guidelines and as such are the only ones most clients are concerned.
For HighMarksCE purposes, a 'Live Activity = Course’.
Event/Session Type = Standard types (session, workshop, panel, committee meeting, pre-meeting course, etc) PLUS some of the 'Activity Types'. The Event/Session Types need to be defined in terms of traditional conversations (i.e. ‘do you have a panel versus a workshop’) PLUS the standard Activity Types.
In general, the following happens:
Activity Type -> Event Type
Course -> Session, Panel, Workshop, Pre-Meeting Course, Committee.
Committee Learning -> Committee
Enduring Material -> Enduring Material
Internet Activity Enduring Material -> Internet Activity Enduring Material
Internet Live Course -> Internet Live Course
