Vitamin D Seminar in San Diego - November 3, 2008

[Guest guest]

November 3, 2008Please tell your friends and colleagues about a one day Vitamin D seminar at UCSD in San Diego (6.5 CME credits) on Tuesday, December 2, 2008. The seminar is entirely about the "Diagnosis and Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency." A similar conference last April was extraordinary, especially the talk by Professor Robert Heaney. His talk alone is worth the trip to San Diego. This one will have added topics (cardiovascular disease, skin cancer and diabetes) as well as brief presentations from some of the prior attendees.A major new call from the American Public Health Association came out this last week to '...begin a campaign NOW aimed directly at the general public based on scientific data currently available..' in order to resolve the vitamin D deficiency epidemic. Carole Baggerly, co-author of the resolution, and the organizer of this seminar, indicates that APHA approved 8 different action steps, another of which is to provide education to health care practitioners. This seminar is the only one of its kind in the country so I'd encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity.You can get more information and register at http://www.grassrootshealth.org/events/seminars.phpPresenters will include some of the nation's best known vitamin D researchers: Cedric F. Garland, University of California San Diego, Robert P. Heaney, Creighton University, Edward D. Gorham, University of California San Diego, Donald L. Trump, Roswell Park Cancer Center, Frank Garland, Naval Health Research Center and Michael F. Holick, Boston University.Enroll today and, help spread the word to other practitioners. The registration fee is $45.00. If you need a scholarship, check the box for 'Scholarship' in the Type of Registration category and the fee will be waived.http://www.grassrootshealth.org/events/seminars.phpJohn Cannell, MD
