Distinguished national and local medical experts share their knowledge and experiences on topics of interest to a broad spectrum of medical practitioners. The didactic presentations are comprised of traditional audio-visual modalities, a discussion period involving Q&A, and the sharing of personal experiences by audience members to facilitate expert commentary and further discussion.
