NCRC at Winston-Salem May 20, 2017

Words can’t describe what an outstanding meeting we had with many wonderful discussions and teaching points. It was very special to have Stuart Fine, MD and Travis Meredith, MD share their timeless wisdom throughout the case discussions.

I want to thank Peter Van Houten, MD for his technological expertise and exceptional efforts in live streaming the meeting.
