The program for the half-day September 20, 2019 CAMA (Chicago Area Medical Archivists) sponsored medical history symposium has been confirmed. A big thanks to all of the speakers who have agreed to share their insights. We look forward to hearing their research findings.
Further in this e-mail is the schedule and list of speakers. The symposium will begin at 1 pm.
Prior to the start of the symposium, everyone is invited to a brief CAMA networking meeting that will begin at 12:30 pm.
Please RSVP <r-kubilius@northwestern.edu> if you plan on coming. Knowing the attendee count will help in room set-up plans, alert me if we are reaching room capacity, and will provide me with an attendee list (of non-Northwestern Medicine attendees) to submit to our building security desks.
