The above program is subject to change but the basic structure will remain. The topics will address the needs of individuals at the entry level as well as advanced practice in the field of Apheresis. With several simultaneous sessions, there will be choices to make when deciding which sessions to attend each day. The Abstract Submission Deadline is planned for 31 December 2003. The call for abstracts in the fall will solicit reports related to donor and therapeutic apheresis. All aspects of apheresis medicine such as scientific studies, administrative, operational, quality, technological issues, etc. will be welcome. We look forward to active participation from physicians and allied health professionals
from around the world. Please contact Patricia Golden ([email protected]) or Nancy McCombie ([email protected]) with any questions related to this announcement. Nancy McCombie is co-editor of the Hemapheresis Listening Post as well as the WAA Board representative for Allied Health Professionals.
