Meet the Professor Sessions will be held on Thursday, May 12 and Friday, May 13 between 07:30 and 08:20. There is no need to register for these sessions. If the room
is full you may need to choose to attend a different session.
Meet the Professor Sessions provide participants the opportunity to be updated about the topic of interest in a highly interactive manner. Meet the Professor Sessions at the 2016 Meeting will consist of interactive case-based discussions each with a coordinator who will select and present cases and either one or two expert discussants. The conveners may frequently use case reports with questions regarding diagnosis and management.
Participants were encouraged to submit educational or controversial cases on one of the Meet the Professor session topics (see list below) via the "Clinical Education: A case or Case Series Report" theme of the abstract submission process.
