PEARS Deeper Dives

 

PEARS Deeper Dives

This series of trainings is intended to follow the PEARS Crash Course. The PEARS Crash Course helps you figure out what to report where. These Deeper Dives help you to learn how to actually do that reporting. Each training will focus on a particular part of PEARS, please join for whichever sessions seem relevant to you. These do not need to be attended in any particular order, but I would encourage you to take the crash course first.
