Case Discussion / Request for Case Submissions

When you register, you will have an opportunity to submit a case for discussion during the course. Case discussions will be held at the end of the day. In order to prepare your submission, we ask that you provide a BRIEF summary of your case and include key lab results. Please ensure that all identifiable PHI has been removed. Cases should have an educational purpose. The course faculty will not be able to provide a detailed/complex consult review during the course and they will try to get through as many cases as possible.
