April 17 | Singing River Health System Stroke Care Symposium | Held Virtually
That's right! The annual Singing River Stroke Care Symposium is being held virtually. Attendees will still be able to earn their CE's as they attend online sessions and vendors are given the opportunity to participate in social media marketing before, during, and after the conference. Will we be seeing more virtual conferences in the future? Only time will tell.
