“You cannot help but learn more as you take the world into your hands. Take it up reverently, for it is an old piece of clay, with millions of thumbprints on it.” ―John Updike
On June 11, 2022, Qatar Care in collaboration with Qatar Cancer Society spearheaded another webinar entitled, “Exploring Blood Dyscrasias: Multiple Myeloma”. This is an accredited group learning activity (Category 1) approved by the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Health Care Professionals- Accreditation section with a total of 3.5 hours.
Qatar Care, as a pioneer in developing creative learning methodologies, used Wordwall.com, an online platform, to administer a pre-and post-test to assess the participants' knowledge and abilities. The competitors were fiercely competitive and remarkably engaged, and Qatar Care formally introduced them. Qatar Care was also the first organization to use Master-Badge as the platform for its webinar. The Qatar Cancer Society, which has been a long-time partner in providing quality education to its key partners, made this possible.
The webinar was spearheaded by Abdulkarim O. Agga, RGN, MAN, the CPD Chairman with the SPC team composed of Normarie Lego, RGN, and Peach Dale Esloyo, MAN.
