Dear Colleague,
I am excited to invite you to join us at Stony Brook University on October 13, 2007 at the Charles B. Wang Center for a one-day enlightening and educational adventure. As a result of your suggestions, the “Meeting of the Minds: Emergent Therapies in Cardiovascular Disease, Outcomes and Evidence- Based Medicine” symposium is here!
Our community will be best served when we collaborate, explore and critique decisions based on evidence and clinical data. It is our hope that the unique format focused on outcomes and evidence-based medicine in the treatment of cardiovascular disease will meet your needs for continuing medical education, as well as networking with your colleagues.
Looking forward to seeing you in October!
Sincerely and with best regards,
