Earn additional CME credit at Industry-Supported Symposia
Pri-Med is pleased to offer you the opportunity to attend independent symposia supported by unrestricted educational grants from the pharmaceutical industry. These symposia will take place during the breaks in the Harvard Medical School/Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine program. Each organization has contributed to Pri-Med in support of its educational mission. This support is gratefully acknowledged - however, this acknowledgement does not imply an endorsement of any product. Attendance at these programs is limited and requires tickets for admission and to earn CME credit. Register for these symposia early to ensure admission to the programs of your choice. Industry-Supported Symposia are not affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
