Guidelines for the resumption of live (in-person) courses and conferences effective October 1, 2021.

Mayo Clinic is closely monitoring COVID-19 prevalence and may adjust live course attendance limits as necessitated by CDC, public health and other relevant guidelines. Attendees are asked to comply with all live course and conference guidelines below.

Guidelines for Live Courses and Conferences

• Attendees are encouraged to wear masks at all times while attending courses in-person.
• Attendees at in-person programs held on a Mayo Clinic campus must wear masks at all times.
• Participants should refrain from consuming food and beverage in meeting rooms or in the General Session.
• Attendees must maintain 6 feet of social distance as much as possible.
• In such situations where 6 feet of distance cannot be maintained, assigned seating or partners/groups will be used.
• Hand sanitation stations will be provided and frequent handwashing is encouraged. Meeting spaces will be thoroughly cleaned by facility staff each evening.
• Attendees and faculty are strongly encouraged to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, if able, before participating in in-person courses.
• Attendees will not be asked to disclose their vaccine status.
• Destination conferences will be planned as hybrid meetings with in-person and livestream options.
• Those presenting and/or recording professional education who are fully vaccinated may do so without a mask so long as they are able to maintain six feet of distancing from others. Masks must immediately be replaced at the end of the presentation.
