Sent on behalf of Don Sweete, CEO SNOMED International
Dear E-Learning Advisory Group,
I am pleased to inform you that the Management Board has approved the Senior Management Team's recommendation to cease the practice of charging Members for SNOMED CT education courses offered by SNOMED International at this time. Please note that this decision does not apply to SNOMED International Certifications.
The current decision reinforces the desire of the organization to extend opportunities for SNOMED CT education equally across our membership as well as recognition of the budgetary constraints Members are facing resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision follows;
Education Fees for Members
SNOMED International immediately ceases charging fees to Members for courses offered by SNOMED International, in effect with the next cohort of classes. Fees for courses already paid for but yet to be delivered by SNOMED International will be refunded. Non-Members will continue to be charged a fee for SNOMED International education.
SNOMED International continues to actively pursue partners for the delivery of SNOMED CT courses.
Fees for SNOMED International Certifications will continue to apply.
In line with this decision, the Education Team will work to update the Course Catalogue, as well as communicating changes to relevant stakeholders, e.g. the E-Learning Advisory Group. If you have any questions, kindly contact the Education Team at elearning@snomed.org.
Kind regards,
Don
Dear ELearning AG members,
I'd like to announce a few changes to the Education Team at SNOMED International.
Firstly, Liara Tutina has recently taken over the management of the education team, and has asked Anne Højen to serve as the new chair of the ELearning Advisory Group. So please make Liara and Anne both feel very welcome in their new roles!
As part of these role changes, I will be leaving the education team to get involved in some new SNOMED implementation activities. I do, however, continue to be a firm believer in the importance of education in enabling SNOMED CT adoption across all of our countries. So I thank you all sincerely for continuing to support these education activities!
Wishing you all the best!
Kind regards,
Linda.

Dear ELAG,
SNOMED International is hosting an upcoming SNOMED CT Research Webinar that may be of interest to many:
Bridging the RWD databases across the countries to empower studies on COVID-19
This presentation will share recent accomplishments utilizing SNOMED CT as the key terminology to coordinate real-world evidence studies around the world on COVID-19. SNOMED CT has been bridging the EHR/EMR databases in different countries to build up a network for large-scale analysis on the demographics, clinical features, treatment, and health outcomes of COVID-19 patients. The implementation of SNOMED CT in a broader scope will help the global community to prepare for the next-wave of COVID-19 and the next communicable disease.
The webinar will be presented by Dr. Gong Mengchun:
Tuesday November 24th at 14:00 UTC

Dear ELAG,
It has come to my attention that there was an error in one of the ELAG slides previously distributed - in particular the flag for Cyprus was incorrect.
If you have already downloaded the October ELAG Meeting Slides, could you please download these again to obtain the corrected version.
Updates slides: ELAG Meeting 20201007.pptx
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Linda.
