National Jewish Medical and Research Center Set to Kick Off
30th Annual Allergy & Respiratory Update at Keystone

 

Allergists, pulmonologists and general practitioners can learn the approaches and methods used to diagnose and treat allergic, respiratory, and immune diseases at the 30th Annual Allergy and Respiratory Update conference hosted next month by National Jewish Medical and Research Center. The program is co-chaired by National Jewish professors Harold Nelson, MD, Richard Martin, MD, and Erwin Gelfand, MD. The conference is a great opportunity to discuss key issues with colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere. There are still some spots available.

“This conference will assist all medical professionals in treating their patients who suffer from these conditions,” said Dr. Nelson. “It is a tremendous opportunity to learn from some of the best teachers in the nation.”

All participants will observe presentations by national and international speakers in the morning and take part in case study discussion workshops interacting with National Jewish Faculty in the afternoons. The agenda is designed with time for winter and family activities during the four-day conference. Attendees can also earn CME/CE credit. National Jewish is accredited by the ACCME to provide CME credit hours for physicians.

National Jewish Medical and Research Center is the only medical and research center in the United States devoted entirely to respiratory, allergic, and immune system diseases, including asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema, severe allergies and autoimmune diseases, such as lupus. It has been rated the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation for ten straight years by U.S. News & World Report.
