We will utilize teaching techniques and audiovisual presentations designed to capture your intellectual curiosity as a physician and person. In addition, live medicine in action (clinical demonstrations) will also supplement many lectures. 

Our vision is to produce a conference that will give you the information you need as a clinician (physician, nurse, physician assistant, other) to enhance and update your practice of safe and effective medicine. 

This is accomplished by the selection of lecturers who currently practice in their field of expertise and have ample experience as teachers. Each lecturer in turn will provide you with basic information about the topics such as definition and review of basic sciences (pathophysiology, anatomy, etc.). This will lead into discussion of the diagnostic method (specific lab studies, radiographic studies, physical exam findings), and treatment protocols which we as specialist lecturers utilize and pass on to you (medications, dosages/route, side effects, drug interactions). Finally, as possible each topic will be effectively summarized by a discussion of long term management of patients.

The goal of this conference will have been met if you, prompted by your own intellectual and personal enjoyment of the experience, are able to return to your clinical facility and implement what you have learned. Please give us your feedback.
