Lectures and symposia are used to orally give information to a group of practitioners or patients. These methods can be used to address broad topics (e.g., the MCO s process for developing practice guidelines) or narrow topics (e.g., use of the MCO s practice guideline for insulin-dependent diabetics). An advantage of lectures, compared to written communication, is that two-way interaction can occur. Allowing people to ask questions and discuss issues can help clarify information and can facilitate their use of the information.
