Cancellation Notice

It is with deep regret that we inform you of the cancellation of the Ninth Annual Head and Neck Cancer Symposium in Miami, FL.

Over the past few weeks, the Baptist Health CME leadership and staff have been monitoring worldwide developments related to COVID-19. With our government and other international organizations recommending self-quarantine and many institutions strongly advising staff, faculty and students to restrict travel, we know that it is no longer practical or ethical to continue with this annual meeting.

The Baptist Health CME Department is committed to providing valuable and timely education to our learners, and we will continue to work with our Directors and faculty to develop live webinars and online CME courses on topics of current interest. Please visit our CME Catalog for a listing of available courses, searchable by credit type, specialty or topic.

For questions regarding the Head and Neck Cancer Symposium, please contact AlexandrSa@baptisthealth.net.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
