Los Angeles-Marina Del Rey, CA April 3 – 4, 2009
Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to the 64th Annual Obstetrical and Gynecological Assembly of Southern California This meeting is one of the oldest conferences in our field in Southern California, and carries great pride and prestige Throughout its history, the meeting has evolved in keeping with the needs of clinicians and academicians in the community and continues to contribute to the education of its attendees
Once again, we have worked to make the meeting efficient and compact The planning
committee has put together an exciting and ambitious program comprised of up-to-date speakers and subjects As in the past, the Luncheon Roundtables are a major highlight By opening up dialogue between the faculty and attendees, we hope to enhance the educational experience and enjoyment of the program
The program concentrates on Gynecology on the first day of the meeting, and on Obstetrics the second day, allowing attendees more freedom in selecting their personal areas of interest Keeping
in line with the electronic media age each attendee will receive a CD version of the syllabus for more convenient and permanent access
At this year’s meeting we will honor Dr Philip DiSaia, one of the great leaders in the history of the Assembly, and one of the most significant teachers and mentors for many of us here in
Southern California
This conference offers an opportunity to participate in a Southern Californian tradition with personal access to the faculty, informative round table luncheons, and fabulous exhibits Please join us this year! We look forward to seeing you and hope that these changes will make this a meeting not to be missed
Thank you for your attendance and continued support of the Assembly
