1999 Breakfast Panels: Food for Thought

Mark A. Warner, M.D., Vice-Chair
Section on Annual Meeting


Breakfast Panels remain one of the most popular educational activities at the ASA Annual Meeting. These panels are sponsored by the nine major subspecialty societies, and they provide an excellent occasion to blend an early morning start with a great educational opportunity. This year's panels will meet on Monday, October 11, Tuesday, October 12, and Wednesday, October 13, in the mornings during the Annual Meeting. Three panels will be presented on each of these days.

The table on page 19 shows the sponsoring subspecialty society, the program chair and program title.
