Review and Conclusion
Request: Participants are free to do as they please with their honoraria. But it would be useful to MOMS, for evaluative purposes, to know how the honoraria are spent. So, each recipient is asked to notify MOMS of how the honorarium was spent, and whether or not seminar objectives were fulfilled and how. Thanks for considering this request.
