To assess the contributions of model organisms in the study of human disorders -
To summarize recent developments in the understanding of genetic factors in specific human malformations and structural anomalies -
To review the achievements and current status of established programs in the study of human malformations and structural anomalies “This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the essentials and standards of the South Carolina Medical Association through Joint Sponsorship of Self Regional Healthcare and the Greenwood Genetic Center. The Self Regional Healthcare is accredited by the SCMA to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Self Regional Healthcare designates this activity for 5.0 hours of Category I CME credit towards the AMA physicians recognition award. Each physician should only claim those hours that he/she actually spent in the activity. Self Regional Healthcare and the Greenwood Genetic Center adhere to the ACCME standards regarding industry support of continuing medical education. Disclosure of faculty and commercial support relationships, if any, will be made known at the conference.” |
