Our meeting this year will be hosted by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School on October 24th, 2020. Designed for faculty, students and administrative staff, the conference will feature a plenary address, workshops, oral presentations, and a poster session, all virtually. This year’s theme is “Supporting Learning Communities in a Virtual Setting.”
Registrants will receive the full conference agenda once it has been finalized. As the conference approaches, registrants will receive further instructions on how to connect to and navigate around the conference site.
Registration will close September 30th, and membership needs to be renewed prior to the conference to receive membership pricing. We do ask for your home address at registration so that we can send you postal mail conference materials. We assume during the pandemic a home address will be best.

Registration is Closed.
