We are pleased to announce that the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology (AAAAI) has selected DLC Solutions’ EthosCE Learning Management System to manage their continuing medical education (CME) enterprise.  AAAAI is the largest US medical specialty society dedicated to the allergy/immunology specialty.  We were awarded the contract over several other companies by the AAAAI Board of Directors at the end of competitive bid process.  Under the contract, we will:

• Install EthosCE LMS to manage all aspects of AAAAI’s live and enduring CME activities (e.g., registration, assessments, course delivery, certificates).
• Create an AAAAI branded, easy to use learner experience.
• Streamline and automate several back-end administrative tasks.
• Provide real-time online personal CME transcripts and outcomes reports
• Support multiple CME activity formats including Performance Improvement, case studies, webcasts, journals, and more.
• Integrate with AAAAI’s association management system.
• Enable single sign on (SSO) authentication from the AAAAI.org Website.
• Manage all purchase transactions through EthosCE’s built-in e-commerce suite.
• And much more…

We are very excited to have been selected by AAAAI and we look forward to a wonderful, productive relationship with their leadership and members.

We are pleased to announce our launch “Software as a Service” (SaaS) learning management system, EthosCE Professional.  The new hosted, subscription-based product is designed for continuing education organizations that require a robust LMS to streamline the delivery of live and enduring CME activities, but do not wish to host an LMS internally or require extensive customizations and integration with 3rd party applications.  Here are some of the key features contained within EthosCE Professional.  To learn more about EthosCE Professional version, please visit us at the Annual Alliance for CME Conference in San Francisco, CA on January 26th-29th at Booth #617 or call us at (267)234-7401.
