CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I am wondering it anyone has done or is doing something like Continuing Professional Development
(or in our case, Continuing Medical Education) with CiviCRM? Not the actual eLearning but the registration
of the events, participants, lecturers and credentialling/controlling?

Basically what this means that a event must be pre-registered, is then approved and assigned Points which
the participants accumulate. The event is also grouped into one of a fixed number of categories, because
a number of points in one or other categories are mandatory annually. Lecturers get more points than participants.
Events can be once-off, weekly, monthly or in similar (regular or irregular) intervals.

Participants register AFTER attending, so there must be some measure of control, so for example the organizer
might receive a list of random (transaction) numbers, which the participants then can use to register (prove) their
attendance at an event.

All possible participants would be already normalized since they would be registered with their respective
Health Professions Council, so no outsiders (unregistered practitioners) would need (or be allowed) to register
their details into the systems.

A few more details would need to be looked at but in principle can something like this can be done with CiviCRM?
I am familiar with Joomla, but Drupal would not be a problem either.

And it's for a developing country situation, ie resources are scarce...
