We hope you are getting excited about the upcoming AMA Winter Educators’ Conference that will take place two months from now in the gorgeous city of San Diego. There is always great deal of compelling sessions, useful workshops and master-classes, and pre-conference events, so it may be helpful for CBSIG members to learn about certain sessions that are likely to be of interest. There are a lot of great things going on so get ready for some action!
