Pros
Contemporary Forums has created and developed 30+ national clinical continuing education conferences/year for over 35 years. Excellent speakers; great opportunity of attendees to network and meet faculty.
Cons
After acquisition by American Career College (ACC), many changes occurred. Micro management by president, delayed decision making regarding conferences resulting in less choice of locations and quality of hotel, changes in marketing practices which reduced market exposure, attempts to promote ACC in Contemporary Forums brochures/meetings- a practice not condoned by the continuing education accrediting agencies. Contemporary Forums office will be relocated to from the SF Bay area to southern California in 2016. From original staff of over 20, 9 employees remain with the company.

Pros
Great medical education conferences produced in a very precise, organized way utilizing a very small core group of long-term employees.
Cons
The benefit package has shrunk overtime with the various ownership changes that have ensued. It leaves the employees feeling demoralized.
