Tri-State Medical Conference Goes Virtual to Educate Physicians on the Latest Lung Health Cases, COVID-19

Today, the American Lung Association announced that the annual Tri-State Pulmonary Case Conference, set for Saturday, January 23, 2021, has gone virtual to educate physicians on the latest pulmonary cases. The conference typically takes place in New Orleans, but was reimagined as an interactive virtual event to be hosted through the 6Connex Platform. 

The Tri-State Pulmonary Case Conference is a continuing medical education conference that has been facilitated for more than 65 years, covering the Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi area. Featuring the latest pulmonary cases, physicians and healthcare professionals present their case and the moderator leads an incisive discussion of patient management considering both current literature and contemporary practice. 

This year’s conference will include:

• Case Presentations from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
• A lecture on “Human Immune response to COVID-19” presented by Akiko Iwasaki, PhD from Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Yale School of Medicine.
• A Year End Review, presented by Derek Russell, MD, and Ravi Virdi, MD, from the University of Alabama Birmingham.
• View the full agenda at TriStateConferenceNewOrleans.org

Registration is $100 for physicians and $75 for non-physicians. More information and registration is available at TriStateConferenceNewOrleans.org. For more information, contact Kristina Curre at [email protected] or 904-520-7118.
