Call for PDC Monitors

Monitors assist with administering the in-person AIHA Connect Professional Development Courses (PDCs).

Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Please submit your request using the form below. You will receive an email confirmation of your assignment and registration code once confirmed. AIHA will send confirmations after January 5, 2026.
