CHI is happy to announce that there are still spots open for the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Family Conference 2010, which will take place on June 18th and June 19th at the Bristol Hotel in San Diego. The agenda is shaping up to be quite exciting.
There will be Reports from Some of the Leading Treatment and Research Centers from Around the World and Lectures on: the History of HI Treatment and Research; Understanding the Scientific Underpinnings of the Condition, Why we Gather Data; Managing HI at Home and at School; Understanding Genetic Test Results; HI in Infancy, Toddlerhood, Childhood, the Teenager Years and Beyond; and Becoming a Part of HI Advocacy and Fundraising; as well as other topics. We’ll also hear from some young adults who have lived their whole lives with the condition and have learned to successfully manage it on their own. There will be many opportunities to ask questions and learn from leading world specialists, as well as time to get to know other HI families.
The faculty for the conference include Dr. Jean-Baptiste Arnoux from Necker Hospital in Paris, Dr Khalid Hussain and Dr. Dunia Ismail from Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, Dr. Morey Haymond from Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Paul Thornton from Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, Dr. Charles Stanley, Susan Becker, Amanda Lee, and Melanie Cohen from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
