ASCRS•ASOA 2013 WINTER UPDATE PRELIMINARY PROGRAM

4000 Legato Road, Suite 700 • Fairfax, VA 22033

Revitalize Your Practice“ ASCRS puts on absolutely the finest, most organized, and

beneficial programs I've ever experienced. The sites chosen for the meetings are first class in every regard. Thisis important, for such polished and refined venues promotean atmosphere of relaxed collegiality. Faculty and atten-dees interact easily, with ready exchange of questions andideas, whether in the meetings or social gatherings outside.

The two worlds of family and practice rarely meet, andsometimes are at odds. There can be resentment aboutgoing to another meeting. To a spouse, it was ‘going onvacation without me.’ This ASCRS meeting does much totear down that wall. My wife sees that, ‘You actually go tothose lectures!’ And she enjoys being a part of my world,and doing her own thing during meeting mornings.”
