2009 ANNUAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

The 64th SMCAF Annual Meeting 2009 will be held in conjunction with the AMSUS 115th Annual Meeting at the Convention Center, St. Louis, MO Nov 15-20. Registration and housing, which open July 13, 2009, will be handled by AMSUS and ONLY at their website, www.amsus.org.  Housing must be procured through the AMSUS Housing Bureau in order to get the military per diem rate. While we are encouraging SMCAF members to attend the entire AMSUS meeting, hotel rooms and meeting registration will be available for just the SMCAF portion of the meeting, November 17th and 18th, 2009 (agenda below). The SMCAF Hotel will be The Hyatt Regency.  SMCAF members may register there for just Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The meeting registration fee for current AMSUS members will be determined by your membership category in AMSUS.   If you wish to register as a SMCAF member for the time period noon Tuesday through all Wednesday events, the fee will be $110.00 and will cover admission and one ticket to the SMCAF Luncheon.  Spousal lunch tickets and banquet tickets will be extra.  A specific procedure is required for this special registration. Please send an e-mail message to Maj Gen George Anderson, USAF, MC Retired, george.anderson@amsus.org to request registration for this limited attendance. Badges for those registering in this manner will be available at the Convention Center on Tuesday November 17, 2009.  To ensure that all SMCAF attendees receive full CME credit for their attendance at the SMCAF Physician Section on Nov 18, 2009, Margo Cabrero will confirm the proper badge issuance to each member. 

All additional meeting registration  information is immediately available on the AMSUS website:  www.amsus.org.  This information, but not registration protocols, will also be on the SMCAF website.
