Committee on Clinical Forum
The Clinical Forum sessions at the 2000 ASA Annual Meeting will
be held Monday through Wednesday, October 16-18, 2000, at the
Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Last year's forums
were informative, interactive, thought-provoking and fun! We believe
the sessions this year will live up to that precedent. The Clinical
Forum format is designed to allow a panel of experts to delve
into designed cases informally and to discuss clinical management
decisions. Remember, Clinical Forums are a chance to interact
with and question the experts, and the sessions are free!
The Clinical Forum cases will be printed in the 2000 Annual
Meeting program so participants may review and study them prior
to attendance. Some of the forums will provide an expanded case
summary and an outline of the important and controversial issues.
Each Clinical Forum session is scheduled for 90 minutes, and the
moderator will be keenly interested in facilitating audience discussion
with the panelists. We took your suggestions and evaluations and
incorporated them into this year's program. The forums will be
exciting, and we look forward to seeing you there!
