Tori Hudson, N.D. brings her depth and breadth of knowledge to update us in key issues in women’s health from 2009/2010 including screening guidelines and select nutritional/botanical research studies that can enhance clinical practice. Last but certainly not least, we are very pleased to have Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. as a speaker this weekend.
