Course Objectives

This program is designed to provide physicians and nurse practitioners affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and members of Beth Israel Deaconess Physician Organization with timely information and relevant updates on some of the most recent and exciting advances in our various disciplines.

We are all so busy in our hectic schedules that unless we engage in a specific conversation with colleagues in different specialties, we are often unaware of the remarkable and stellar work that is being done at our medical center. Please join us for a day of learning and networking that promises to be informative and rewarding. You will leave informed, perhaps, even inspired, to cherish all that is glorious and best about the medical profession.  It is our fervent hope that the new knowledge you acquire will allow you to practice state of the art medicine so that your patients will live healthier and happier lives.
