A webinar entitled Are You Ready? New Health Information Technology Funding for Technical Assistance and Infrastructure will focus on Regional Extension Centers (REC) that will be part of health information technology (HIT) development in North Carolina.

The webinar will be co-hosted by the North Carolina Medical Society Foundation (NCMSF) and North Carolina Medical Group Managers (NCMGM) and presented on Thursday, March 25, 2010, 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm.
