Electronic Course Materials Information 

Thank you for registering for a course that furthers AIHA’s effort to conserve resources. In response to participant, instructor and member requests, AIHA is continually working to build upon our “Green Meeting Initiatives.”  Your course is participating in this initiative by offering one or all of the following:

• Electronic distribution of handouts
  Note: courses offering electronic handouts will not provide print or hard copies to attendees onsite.
• Electronic distribution of pre reads
• Electronic distribution of references
• An online community for collaborative learning

Download and save or print handouts

You must bring either an electronic copy (loaded on a laptop) or print a copy of all course handouts to use as a reference during your course. Electricity will be provided in course meeting rooms.

All course handouts are in an Adobe PDF format which can be viewed using the free Adobe Reader application. Click here to download a free copy of Adobe Reader.

Handout materials are presented in color and are bookmarked, comment and typewriter enabled.   If you do decide to print the handout, make sure that your printer is set to print in black and white (or grayscale).  Please consider printing double-sided on recycled paper.
