RSDSA to Hold International Update On CRPS in San Diego

The Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA) of America, RSDSA of California, and Geisinger Helath System will conduct an international update on CRPS at the Hilton San Diego Airport/Harbor Island Hotel on September 11, 2004. This CME-accredited conference is targeted to pain practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, internists, pediatricians, physician therapists, and others who are on the "front line" in diagnosing this syndrome.

"This is the first conference RSDSA has held on the west coast, and we are excited about reaching a new geographic audience. This program will include case presentations by leading physicians followed by small breakout sessions, which will permit healthcare professionals to explore all aspects of RSD/CRPS and to interact both formally and informally with faculty and patients," says Jim Broatch, executive director of RSDSA.

The program co-directors are Srinivasa N. Raja, MD, Director of Pain Research, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, and Joshua P. Prager, MD, MS, Director of UCLA Pain Medicine Center, University of California Los Angeles. The registration fee of $150 before August 1 and $175 after includes program, syllabus, continental breakfast and lunch. Patients (non CME credit) may register for $75 for the first registration and additional family members pay $50 each.
