ASER 2013 Annual Scientific Meeting and
Postgraduate Course

Emergency Radiology is a growing subspecialty and has become a popular topic for continuing medical education courses over the last several years. The Society’s goal is to maintain the annual ASER meeting as the premier CME course in Emergency Radiology. Attendee feedback from the ASER 2012 meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana was extremely positive. This year’s meeting in Boston, Massachusetts will build on the successes of last year, and further expand the program’s offerings.

Additional information will be posted as soon as it becomes available. If you would like to be added to the mailing list to receive information via email, please email us at aser@meetingmanagers.com
