SCIENTIFIC SEMINAR 2017

We are excited to announce that this year’s conference will be held May 4th-7th at the Margaritaville Beach Resort in beautiful Hollywood Beach, Florida!

The program for our conferences includes lectures that are designed specifically for residents.

We are also excited to offer introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound and introduction to electrodiagnostics workshops led by Dr. Primack and his marvelous staff. This is just a small portion of the great things we have planned and we would love for you to join us! Scroll down for more information.
