Since its inception at The New York Academy of Sciences in 1989, The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) has held an annual scientific meeting that ranks as one of the top educational events in women’s health.
The 2009 NAMS Annual Meeting continued this tradition of excellence. In addition to celebrating the Society’s 20th anniversary, there were many compelling reasons to attend.
- With a theme of “A New Experience: Bringing Technology to Menopausal Health,” the scientific program is outstanding. World-class experts will discuss the key topics that need to be addressed—all focusing on exciting technological advances to enhance health. Register soon!
- “We promise you cutting-edge science and clinical pearls that you can put into practice immediately after returning home,” said Dr. Leon Speroff, Chair of the Scientific Program Committee.
- Networking with experts is always incredibly valuable—and this year’s meeting offers even more opportunities for having your questions answered in small settings. Be sure to register for the Roundtable Discussions that are always so popular.
- Another reason to come to San Diego is the Wednesday morning pre-meeting symposium. Separate registration is required.
- This year’s Annual Meeting marks the last meeting for Dr. Wulf Utian before his retirement from NAMS at year’s end.
- Colleagues and friends of Dr. Utian are invited to pay tribute to his contributions to NAMS and to women’s health worldwide.
