North Carolina Patient Forum

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our North Carolina Patient Forum on Saturday, May 15, 2010 at the Friday Center for Continuing Education at UNC Chapel Hill. Two BCAN Scientific Advisory Board Members, Dr. Matthew Nielsen from the University of North Carolina and Dr. Deborah Bradley from Duke University Medical Center, served as our faculty co-chairs. The forum featured presentations given by medical experts from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Duke University, and Wake Forest, and concluded with an interactive discussion with a panel of survivors.

Thanks to Endo Pharmaceuticals for supporting our North Carolina Patient Forum with an unrestricted educational grant.
