Symposium Overview
Obstetricians and gynecologists have special and important responsibilities in their daily practices to diagnose and manage patients with the most common and most complicated obstetric and gynecologic problems. Staying abreast of these medical advances provides practitioners increasing opportunities to deliver high-quality patient care. The Sanford H. Cole, M.D., Memorial Ob/Gyn Symposium provides a platform for national and local specialists to share critical knowledge about innovative screening and treatment approaches to women’s healthcare based on the most recent research results.
Symposium History
Established 33 years ago by Sanford H. Cole, M.D., the annual Ob/Gyn Symposium has grown from its modest beginnings as a half-day program held in the Baptist Hospital Auditorium to a full-day symposium. Through Dr. Cole’s vision and efforts, world-class educators have come to our community to discuss the newest concepts in obstetrics and gynecology. Generously supported by Baptist Health South Florida, this symposium attracts close to 200 physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
