The early-bird deadline for registration is June 28! Be sure to register and book your hotel rooms before this date to get your discount. You are can even register onsite at the conference, but pre-registrations help us plan food and chairs.

This year’s Medical Symposium, to be held at Phillips Hall on the campus of the Mayo Clinic, July 20-23, 2000, promises to be a very exciting meeting. Mayo will award 25 CME’s to registered physicians who attend all sessions.

We have designed the meeting in three "tracks" to meet the needs of attendees with varied

backgrounds in medical terminology and genetics.

Thursday, July 20: Basic Science Day for those with a genetics background.

Friday thru Sunday: Sessions for physicians and families on clinical aspects of VHL.

The full agenda is available for download.
