Congress Proceedings

What are Clinical Window Scientific Symposia?

From the Editor: As an expression of dedication in facilitating clinical excellence GE Healthcare sponsors Clinical Window Scientific Symposia organizing educational and scientific lectures at selected medical congresses.

In 2005, Clinical Window first started this tradition, and among healthcare professionals, there has been considerable interest in our educational topics. A good number of 150-300 congress participants at each symposium motivates our Clinical Window staff in the future. Special thanks to our organizing team members, and to each participant. In the following please find links to the programs of previous symposiums. And when we finalize coming symposiums, you can soon find information about our coming programs in www.clinicalwindow.net!
