10:00-12:00 Resident & Student Leadership Training The purpose of the COD (Congress of delegates) training is to educate the learner about what they will experience, see and hear during the NYSAFP COD. Attendees will be able to better understand the process used during the COD so that they can better and more efficiently participate in a meaningful manner. This will help those participants better navigating the COD process to advance the agenda they may have, as well as that of others, to bring about a more successful resolution of the Congress for the benefit of the NYSAFP membership.
