This conference has already taken place.
Description
This symposium is designed to cover four main areas of tick-disease which, due to their complexity, geographic region specificity, and a lack of evidence-based research data, oftentimes present physicians with difficult choices as to when to test, how to treat, and, especially in the case of Lyme, symptoms which can imitate other diseases.
Open to Physicians, Medical Residents, Medical Students, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Laboratory Technicians, and other interested medical professionals.
Registration is required by email to kwulffraat@southamptonhospital.org, including full name, degree/credentials, mailing address, telephone and email address.
