Chair Summit is a unique and powerful learning opportunity, different from other events and conferences. At Chair Summit, you become an involved and engaged participant. You can personalize your experience based on your own educational needs, since direct access to faculty lets you ask as many questions as you need to get the guidance that helps your patients. Here's why you should be at Chair Summit in 2012:
Faculty
All Chair Summit faculty are renowned psychiatry and neurology department chairs from across the country, with hundreds of years of combined experience as researchers and clinicians. Not only that, but they also truly share a passion for helping community-based clinicians improve care of patients.
That’s why our faculty ensure they are accessible to all attendees, answer dozens of questions on every therapeutic area on the agenda, and participate in other Chair Summit sessions when they’re not presenting. They sit on Q&A panels, sit right next to you in sessions, and sit with you during lunch to talk.
That’s hands-on access you only find at Chair Summit.
Our ContentThe entire agenda at Chair Summit is developed hand-in-hand with our faculty experts. Every session is designed to focus on topics and challenges that you face regularly in clinical practice, as well as research, recommendations and practical guidance that help you improve patient care.
And the agenda goes far beyond basic lectures. It’s interactive and filled with case workshops and Q&A panels. You have continual opportunities to ask questions about your own cases, challenges and experiences.
Sure, other conferences also offer sessions on relevant topics like pain, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, and sleep disruption – yet only Chair Summit gives you the access to faculty you need to ask questions that personalize your learning experience.
Our ValueIn just two-and-a-half days at Chair Summit, you get a personalized and powerful learning experience that exceeds any of the larger conferences in our market. That means less time away from your practice, insights that you can more easily translate to patient care, and far more value for the cost.
