This course is part of an annual meeting that our group has held for several years; however, this is the first time the meeting is being submitted for Continuing Medical Education (CME) accreditation. The program consists of a series of concise, 20-minute scientific presentations delivered by researchers and clinicians from the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC. Each presentation highlights current research, clinical innovations, and ongoing projects relevant to the field, with an emphasis on recent findings and their implications for patient care. The course will conclude with a invited keynote lecture from an external guest speaker who is a recognized expert in the field, providing broader context and perspective on emerging trends and future directions.
