CPD / CME
The 14th Annual UBC Respiratory Medicine Update
Register for this event
Course Overview
Please join us again for this annual comprehensive update hosted by the UBC Division of Respiratory Medicine featuring world renowned and local speakers.
Target Audience
Family Physicians, General Practitioners, Nurses, Residents, and Medical Students.
This year our annual conference will run concurrently with the 8th Annual Hot Topics in Cardiology Conference. Note that each conference has a separate registration. Register for the conference you plan to attend primarily and then feel free to move between plenary sessions and workshops during the day!
Please note that most of the morning session times match up so you are welcome to attend either one of the sessions. Please do not interrupt sessions where times do not match up.
Delegates from either conference are welcome to attend any plenary sessions from both sessions as they will be run in side by side ballrooms. We prefer if you stayed in your main registered conference for the concurrent sessions and workshops though.
