International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 19th Lung Cancer Targeted Therapies Meeting is organized by International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and will be held from Feb 20 - 23, 2019 at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Santa Monica, California, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat patients with lung cancer, including medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and advanced practice nurses and physicians' assistants. This IASLC-sponsored meeting is designed to provide information about ongoing clinical trials of the newest therapies for lung cancer. The meeting presenters summarize the data on relevant targets for new therapies. Data on preclinical and early clinical data are presented for each of the drugs directed against these targets. The meeting also presents data on early predictive biomarkers.  There are also presentations from fellows and young investigators in training and debates about controversial topics. The meeting is a unique resource for clinical investigators, including those in academia, clinical practice and industry. Learning Objecitves: • Provide a forum for clinical lung cancer investigators to understand the science behind emerging therapies; and • Recognize and plan the most scientific trials of new therapies. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

2019 American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES) 40th Annual Meeting is organized by The American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES) and will be held from Apr 07 - 09, 2019 at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Santa Monica, California, united States of America. Advanced Endocrine Surgery Course Participate in an engaging, realistic setting while an international, multi-disciplinary panel of experts highlights the nuances of complex decision making. Panelists will be unaware of the real-life clinical scenarios presented which creates a more practical approach and lends itself well to learning objectives of practicing surgeons with a special interest in thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal disease. Course Objectives are: Thyroid • Select the appropriate therapies for benign thyroid disease • Describe changes in ATA classification for nodules requiring surgery • Discuss different approaches to surgery for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer • Review complications of neck surgery and appropriate management • Explore prerequisite labs and genetic testing for patients with MTC and poorly differentiated cancers • Review surgical strategies for advanced cancers Parathyroid • Identify appropriate radiologic studies for diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism • Explore diagnostic/therapeutic options for persistent/recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism • Recognize nuances in diagnosis/treatment for secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism • Discuss operative decision making for re-operative parathyroid surgery • Review diagnosis and surgical treatment for parathyroid cancer Adrenal • Describe key lab work necessary to evaluate for functional tumors • Differentiate between various imaging modalities to assess adrenal nodules • Discuss different surgical approaches for adrenal nodules Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

2nd Annual UCLA Spinal Cord Injury Symposium is organized by David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) at UCLA, Office of Continuing Medical Education and will be held on Apr 27, 2019 at Red Bull North America, Santa Monica, California, United States of America. Target Audience: The target audience is health care professionals and researchers invested in improving the care for spinal cord injury patients including neurosurgeons, orthopedists, neurologists, intensivists, rehabilitation specialists, physiatrists, pain management physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and spinal cord injury researchers. Accreditation: The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA designates this live activity for a maximum of 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Course Description: The UCLA Spinal Cord Injury Symposium is a one-day course that presents contemporary and future strategies in the management of spinal cord injury. The first half of the day emphasizes the clinical management of spinal cord injury ranging from initial patient evaluation through postoperative rehabilitation. The management of both chronic spinal cord injury related to cervical spondylotic myelopathy and acute traumatic spinal cord injury will be discussed in didactic lectures, case presentations, and question and answer sessions. Recent evidence-based studies will be utilized. The second half of the course will be focused on emerging basic science and clinical research, and delves into novel functional restoration and neural repair strategies including neuromodulation, stem cells, and cellular therapies. A patient testimonial regarding life with a spinal cord injury will provide context and meaning to all of the treatment modalities. Objectives: Attendees completing this course will increase skills and knowledge to better: • Evaluate and treat both acute and chronic spinal cord injury patients, including operative and nonoperative options, nursing care, and critical care management • Contrast the surgical approaches for chronic and traumatic spinal cord injury and distinguish which approaches are the most optimal for a specific clinical presentation • Describe the role of sagittal balance and other spinal deformity parameters in the pathogenesis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and incorporate these measurements into clinical practice • Compare traditional and novel rehabilitation strategies following spinal cord injury and formulate individualized treatment plans • Identify the areas of controversy in the management of traumatic spinal cord injury based on evidenced-based guidelines • Describe the basic science and clinical research strategies that are actively being translated into the treatment for spinal cord injury patients • Explore the basic science and clinical research strategies that are likely to be translated into the treatment for spinal cord injury patients in the future

The 7th Annual UCLA Diabetes Symposium is organized by David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and will be held on Nov 16, 2019 at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, Santa Monica, California, United States of America.
