You are invited to attend - this conference is one of the country's oldest and most highly regarded post-graduate education programs of thoracic medicine and surgery. Attended by pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons, the conference focuses on clinical topics in thoracic disease using the consecutive case conference format.
To achieve our learning objectives of improved evaluation and treatment of patients with lung disease, faculty provide a brief presentation of each case and the moderator leads an incisive discussion of patient management in light of both current literature and contemporary practice. In addition, our keynote speakers deliver state-of-the-art lectures and serve as consultants to the program.
