The major outreach of the e-Course is also enhanced by the contribution of City Pods located all around the globe.
What are City Pods?!

- Each City Pod consists of a group of peers from the same hospital, gathered together to watch the e-Course LIVE (and imperatively taking all relevant protective measures in view of the current health crisis)
- A spokesperson in each City Pod is responsible for relaying the group’s comments and questions to the colleagues in the TV studios
