2012 Biennial Meeting

Become a Member

Greetings!

On behalf of the Society, we'd like to invite you to the 2012 Biennial Meeting of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology. We will be meeting Wednesday through Saturday, March 14 - 17, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, in San Francisco, California.

This year, the Biennial will be preceded by a full day of optional Post-Graduate courses. These are designed to provide an in-depth review of a wide variety of topics and include:

LEEP Course (hands-on)
Vulvovaginal Disease Course (with or without a hands on Graft & Flap Workshop)
Special Populations Course reviewing screening and management of adolescents, pregnant women, menopausal women, immunocompromised patients, and anal disease and screening in both men and women
Case-Based Course (Guidelines through Images)

The Biennial will then be kicked-off Wednesday evening with a Welcome Reception. The following three days of the 2012 Biennial will ensure that you are up to date on the latest advances in lower genital tract disease management while alerting you to coming changes in our discipline. We will once again offer the very popular” Lunch with the Professor“ sessions, afternoon symposia featuring the latest scientific developments, and concurrent sessions including case-based studies and presentations of abstracts from ground breaking research in lower genital tract disease (abstracts are due on October 28th).

You will again be treated to a variety of informational formats, including lectures, panel discussions, and debates by the leaders in our field.

Some highlights of the morning sessions include:

2012 Presidential Address “HPV: From Respiratory Papillomatosis to Cancer” by Dr. Craig S. Derkay, Professor and Vice-Chairman, Department of Otolaryngology Head Neck Surgery at Eastern Virginia Medical School
An update on HPV Transmission by Dr. Rachel Winer

Our Exhibit Hall will again feature an Internet Café! Exhibitors will showcase newly released equipment, lab services, instrumentation, and textbooks Thursday through Saturday. As always, we will have meetings scheduled for nurse colposcopists and advanced practice clinicians, medical educators, and other special interest groups. And be sure to join us for lunch on Saturday at the annual membership business meeting!

We hope that you will find the meeting rewarding. We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
