Leading experts from UCLA and premier departments across the country and around the world will present cutting edge information on interventional oncology, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke management over this three-day symposium. In addition, the course will explore important new developments that have occurred or are about to make the transition from the bench top to clinical practice.
New for this year will be a Virtual Tumor Board, which will provide participants a multidisciplinary approach to interventional oncology. Speakers will provide practical techniques incorporating each therapeutic modality and will offer useful tools that participants will be able to incorporate into their daily practice.
This conference is relevant for interventional radiologists, neuro-interventional radiologists,
and radiologists.

Nationally-renowned CART faculty (including Drs. Geschwind, Bookheimer, McCracken and Kasari) will provide an overview of the latest scientific findings about etiological factors, core deficits, early screening and diagnosis, and innovative treatment models for children with autism and autism spectrum disorders. A conceptual framework, highlighted by various case scenarios and consideration of community resources, will be presented on how to make a thorough assessment and individual treatment plan. In addition, the complex role of genetics, and the use of brain imaging as state-of-the-art methods for understanding and developing treatments for autism, will be presented. This full-day symposium is for physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, other health professionals, teachers, autism service providers, and any others interested in learning about the latest breakthroughs in research and treatment in autism spectrum disorders.

This workshop aims to bring together clinicians, bone and system biologists, mechanical and software engineers, and applied mathematicians to share the latest findings and formulate a plan to develop the next generation of three-dimensional multi-scale virtual rendering of bone tissue able to address specific clinical issues. The need for this workshop is based on
• the increasing evidence that bone shows a plethora of divergent characteristics through a hierarchically-organized heterogeneous structure that varies across nano- micro- , and macro- length scales; and
• the highly interdisciplinary nature of hierarchical modeling, based on developments that occur independently across multiple scientific disciplines and address phenomena manifested at the different scales.
The Center for Educational Development & Research in the David Geffen School of Medicine is pleased to announce the 2009-2010 series of faculty development workshops. These workshops are designed to enhance your skills as a teacher in both clinical and didatic settings.
