Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 It was probably close to 15-20 years ago when we hosted a couple Short Stature Symposiums at University of Michigan. The goal was two fold. 1. to bring a MAB member to the local LP's for a " clinic day " . and 2. to provide medical education for the health professionals at the University. came twice and Clair Francomono came once. These were spread out over 2-4 years. Typically the MAB member worked with the University people on Thursday or Friday ... gave guest lectures.... rounds etc. Then Friday or Saturday there was the LP clinic day. Related University Health professionals and family doc's ie. ortho.. , neoro, ped's etc. were also involved, usually in one clinic area. A one stop shopping kind of experience. The original " sympisiums " started at short stature Mecca, ie. Hopkins.... It took a lot of coordination with U of M, because they had to close their typical clinic space for the day. I know other parts of the country did similar things. I think we've gotten away from it because the doc's started just seeing people at hotels at regionals. ... and the MAB members have spread across the country instead of being just at Hopkins.... Remember the great Dr. Victor McKusick started the " dwarf health care industry at JH. " A little LPA History for us..
