Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi Group-- I have an interesting opportunity that I am not sure how to pursue... A friend of mine from the neighborhood runs a company that sponsors medical education seminars. She is planning one for the fall called, " best practices in pediatrics " which will cover topics like ADHD, asthma, new vaccines (like the new rotovirus and new HPV vaccines) (G-d help us), and autism. She has not yet chosen her autism speaker(s), and she sounds very open to input. I don't fully get how this works, but the speaker(s) need to be funded. It is A LOT of $$$.... 6 figures. But she wants and strives for an open exchange of ideas and science. She would really like to offer these pediatricians information about the biomedical approach, but she doesn't know how to pursue it. It sounds like she has access to a BIG audience. The conference will be held in 5 cities, and each will have 250 pediatricians. They then burn DVDs and send those to 30,000 more people. Any thoughts about how to make an impact in this. I worry if we aren't represented then these docs will all get the party line about genetic research and heavy doses of risperdol. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might have input. andra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi andra, I would suggest your friend contact Maureen McDonnell, who manages the DAN! Conferences. Maureen would know the best DAN! pediatricians to recommend. She is quite busy so your friend would have to contact her. maurahealth@...
