What to expect:

The POPM course is primarily asynchronous. Participants use self-guided weekly lecture videos/slides and reading materials. Small teams will work together throughout the course and be tasked with "Weekly Teamwork Assignments." Participants will meet 1x weekly via Zoom to discuss team solutions to the "Weekly Teamwork Assignments" and dig deeper into our own experiences with the course topics. Certain requirements need to be met to receive certification.

Past participants found weekly commitment to be approximately 4-6 hours, including reviewing all lectures and materials, collaborating on the team project and the weekly 45 minute live discussion.

Course Requirements for Certification - To earn certification, workshop participants are required to:
- Weekly: Actively participate with your team in the 4 Weekly Teamwork Assignments (1 per week), submitting them in a timely manner to the designated location.
- At the end of the course: Submit your Collective Weekly Teamwork Assignments (4 total) and Individual Post-Mortems (1 total) during Week 5.
- Teams are responsible to fairly self-report their own and individual team members' active participation each week via the Weekly Teamwork Assignments.
