Expect lovely weather for CREF next week in San Diego!
Below you will find all the last-minute information you need to attend the 28th Annual San Diego Cardiothoracic Surgery Symposium.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Registration opens at 11:00 am on Valentine's Day, Marina Ballroom Foyer, Second Floor of the South Tower of the San Diego Marriott. The meeting starts at 1:00. Remember: perfusionists receive credit only for the days they sign in.
PROGRAM CHANGES
The scientific agenda printed in the course brochure has changed slightly, and some speakers have moved to different dates and times. Download a copy of the final agenda here.
Lieutenant Commander Michael Tiller MD returned for another tour in Iraq, so he will not be presenting his keynote lecture on medical care during wartime. Dave Warner MD PhD will replace Dr. Tiller, speaking about medical care in Afghanistan.
Unfortunately, due to a last-minute conflict, Diane Van Deren, our fantastic 2005 Keynote Speaker and three-year fun-run leader, will not be able to return this year to lead the morning exercise session. But who needs Diane? Just show up on the Boardwalk next to the Marriott at 6:30 am to join other CREF attendees in an early-morning workout.
