The Focus Demonstration sessions are intended to offer you a unique experience. To keep the atmosphere informal and hands-on, each demonstration is limited to 20 participants and 1 or 2 faculty members. This will allow a hands-on experience and easy dialogue with the “experts.” The faculty members will discuss pearls and pitfalls for each procedure. Please register for the Focus Demo’s of your choice on the registration form. There is no registration fee for a Focus Demo. TO REGISTER FOR THE FOCUS DEMONSTRATIONS YOU MUST ALSO REGISTER FOR ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THE FALL COURSE.
NO CME CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN
