Dear Colleague,

We have a number of exciting national and international courses coming soon.

For the anesthesiologists we have a CPRS course in Cardiff, Wales. For oncologists we have a 4 days devoted to colorectal cancer. We are bringing together leaders in clinical practice and industry to explore potential solutions to the emerging obesity epidemic. In the upcoming months we have also three board reviews (Cardiology, Pediatrics and Endocrinology & Metabolism). This is just a small sample of what is available.
