We are excited to see that the Society of Thermal Medicine has added a Clinical Hyperthermia Practice Guidelines Workshop to their conference schedule. The program is scheduled for Monday, April 29th, 2019, 8:30 - 12:00 am. Requires STM2019 registration and an additional fee ($75.00 USD). Registration Link
Clinical Hyperthermia Practice Guidelines Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to provide practical training for hyperthermia therapy personnel, including physicians, nurses, radiation therapists, and physicists. All speakers have clinical experience in their fields. Lectures from well-known experts on clinical, physics, and biology of hyperthermia will provide participants a comprehensive overview of practice guidelines to deliver safe and effective hyperthermia treatments. This multi-disciplinary workshop will also include talks on clinical workflow and reimbursement. The workshop is the first of its kind organized by STM and is open to STM2019 participants of all thermal therapy backgrounds.
