Clinical and Laboratory Update in Thrombosis and Anticoagulation

October 1-2, 2009

This 2-day conference will include information on advances in the evaluation and management of common thrombotic disorders as well as specific aspects of uncommon thrombotic diseases. Lectures and case studies will be presented by Mayo Clinic faculty with ample opportunity to ask questions and discuss difficult diagnostic or management issues.
