Coordinated by Stephen Grcevich, M.D.
The Special Interest Study Groups (SIGs) provide participants with the opportunity to discuss a specialized topic with experts in the field. These groups are designed to be small discussion groups, not formal lectures. They are designed for practitioners and experts to interact and learn more about their special interest topic. Some of the interest groups are new, while many have been meeting for years.
Groups. The Special Interest Study Groups are scheduled on Friday, October 27 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Fees are charged separately as listed on the registration form and each Special Interest Study Group is limited to 25 participants.
