Nobody has an annual meeting like ours. Nobody. And CAP18 will be no exception.
The CAP18 educational program features 85 courses presented by 128 outstanding faculty. A quick scan of the program reveals 42 new learning opportunities and another 38 returning by popular demand; attendees can earn as many as 34.25 CME credits and 30 SAM credits.
