Dear Ronald Sherman,
Chalk another one up for Biotherapy!
The past 20 years have seen dramatic advances in the Biotherapy research and acceptance into mainstream medicine. Milestones like FDA marketing clearance and insurance reimbursement highlight these advances. The latest evidence of acceptance of biotherapy into mainstream health care comes in the form of sponsorship for the upcoming (8th) International Conference on Biotherapy, which will be held this year in North America (Los Angeles).
 One of the event's sponsors is the University of Cincinnati, and its program for Continuing Medical Education. The University of Cincinnati
is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. See for yourself: UC designated ICB-2010 for a maximum of
25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity). There is no greater recognition than this.
Please join us in thanking all those at University of Cincinnati for their support and confidence in Biotherapy and the upcoming Conference. Better yet, thank them in person by joining us at ICB-2010.
Register now before fees increase or hotel rooms run out!
Read more about the Conference below, or check out the Conference website: www.bterfoundation.org/icb/icb2010.htm.
