The Situation Room is a new platform for peer-to-peer learning and sharing where you can share your clinical experience and insights with your peers based on a simple clinical scenario without a speaker/lecturer to maximize natural interactive discussion in a small group.

Each table is facilitated by a Pfizer Medical Director (FMD) for more diverse discussions. All FMD's are credentialed professionals with extensive experience in the areas of cardiovascular disease states.

Features of a Situation Room:
  • No speaker presentation/lecture
  • Simple case scenario
  • Goal is not to solve the case but discuss how to approach
  • Interactive engaging discussion in a small group setting
  • Small groups of 7-8 HCP participants with one FMD facilitator
