This year, HDA’s PartnerLinx^® system will serve as the scheduling software to request your ABMM business appointments, as well as the “gateway” to the general sessions and your virtual one-on-ones. All meetings will launch from PartnerLinx via the Zoom app.

How to Get the Most Out of PartnerLinx and Creating Your One-on-One Business Appointments

CREATING YOUR ONE-ON-ONE BUSINESS APPOINTMENTS | September 17 to October 1

• Each company has a designated appointment coordinator. The appointment coordinator is the only person who can request and accept appointments.
  
  
• Appointment coordinators will be notified when a request is made, accepted or declined.
  
  
• Confirmed appointments are placed on your PartnerLinx schedule.
  
  
• Each appointment is 30 minutes with a ten-minute break in between appointments. View the ABMM schedule for specific appointment blocks. 

VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS | October 5 to 7

• Before the meeting starts on October 5, download and install Zoom on your computer to avoid delays.
  
  
• Test your computer’s audio and video.
  
  
• Access your appointment schedule at www.partnerlinx.com. Your confirmed meetings will be displayed.
  
  
• Click on the blue camera icon for a particular meeting to launch Zoom and join the virtual meeting. The “Join Virtual Meeting” button will activate five minutes before the appointment starts.
