Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to inform you that the 7th Annual Bariatric Summit will be held in one of the top 10 destinations in America; historical Charleston, South Carolina.
This informal and interactive program has been developed to address the educational needs of the entire surgical team towards achieving and maintaining the rigorous standards associated with becoming a Center of Excellence.
For three days in an informal, intimate setting, General Surgeons, Bariatric Surgeons, Primary Care Physicians, Nurses, Dietitians, Managed Care and Allied Health Professionals will explore leading-edge clinical and technical innovations related to the advanced management and treatment of severe obesity.
This year's program will showcase relevant and cutting edge talks from well-known thought leaders in Bariatric Surgery, focusing on a spectrum of the most relevant issues in bariatric surgery. We will review decision-making, operative strategies, advanced technical details, controversies, management of complications and many other topics including the essentials of a successful bariatric program.
We have chosen one of the finest cities in the world in which to have a relaxed interaction and exchange of ideas and practices with our expert faculty and your peers.
I look forward to seeing you at this year's program.
Warmest Regards,
Scott Shikora, MD
Course Director
