After 23 successful COVID-19 webinars, based on your feedback, we are branching out to become a general medical magazine of the web! At each webinar we will offer a variety of topics spanning adult and pediatric medicine. Our programs will appeal to healthcare providers and, as always, the CME credit is free. Our topics will also be of interest to anyone wishing to keep up-to-date about healthcare. Take the opportunity to tune in and pose questions to our panelists.

An online webinar, the 24th Symposium is sponsored by New York Medical College of Touro University. Continuing Medical Education credits are available upon request.
