Clinician Workshop
The MMS is sponsoring a Clinic Director’s workshop at this year’s upcoming United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation Meeting in Bethesda Maryland in June of 2012. The goal of this workshop is to allow for any of us involved in evaluating and treating patients with mitochondrial disease to meet and share current individual approaches to diagnosis, evaluation, practice and care. We expect the meeting to be a moderated open forum discussion with the goal of building camaraderie and exploring avenues to expand clinical standards and research.
The preliminary agenda can be viewed at this link. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
We look forward to seeing you there.
