Live Courses

Over the past decade there has been a significant advancement in the field of thermal therapy, an adjuvant cancer therapy that sensitizes tumor cells to both radiation and chemotherapy. With increased knowledge and training, clinicians will be able to provide a less invasive form of radiation to their patients. The Thermal Oncology Practice School (TOPS) is a CME accredited course that will provide the attendees with theoretical aspects of thermal therapy in a lecture format with a question and answer session. Several cases will be reviewed to explain the different approaches to treat different treatment sites. Small groups will facilitate in-depth training of practical guidelines for thermal therapy treatment delivery, and will practice the treatment delivery in terms of software and hardware in experimental phantoms. Attending practitioners will be made aware of combining thermal therapy with the different forms of radiation treatment and will benefit from a formal training course that will provide one day of lectures and one day of practical training that will cover reviewing clinical cases and using thermal therapy equipment.

The 16th Biennial Meeting of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of North America (DPSG-NA) is a 1.5-day symposium. The theme of the meeting is “Diabetes in Pregnancy Across the Care Continuum”, and will feature internationally- and nationally-recognized experts who play an active role in a patient’s care from before conception, through the stages of pregnancy and delivery, to her long-term wellbeing.
