Seattle Pituitary Symposium on May 8th 2010
I wanted to let all of you know about the Pituitary Symposium being held in Seattle. I went to a similar symposium last year and found it to be incredibly insightful and had the opportunity to meet other Cushing’s patients & survivors.
If you plan to attend, please send me an email at kristinwalldesigns@gmail.com so we can plan to meet at the conference. I’d love to meet each & every one of you!
The Swedish Hospital is hosting the third annual Pituitary Symposium: “A Patient’s Road Map to the World of Pituitary Disorders” on Sat May 8th from 9-5pm. The 2010 conference will provide a comprehensive overview of pituitary disorders including an in-depth review of different pituitary diseases, a review of current disease management and updates on surgical and medical management options. The internationally recognized faculty presenting at this conference were chosen for their area of expertise related to the diagnosis and management of patients with pituitary disorders. Patients and caregivers will also have an opportunity to participate in a one-hour breakout session to talk with other people affected by these conditions.
