About The ILADS Lyme Disease Conference

Tweet

The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) is firmly established as the only professional society dedicated exclusively to the diagnoses and treatment of these conditions.

As the controversy over Lyme disease dominates the news, professionals have learned and deployed new strategies to fundamentally improve patient care. As the numbers of Lyme disease grows, we anticipate a growing demand for expertise in Lyme disease for every specialty

ILADS brings professionals together every year to examine the cutting edge research and state-of-the-art clinical applications. ILADS conference faculty will train the next generation of physician-scientists who will be future leaders in the treatment of Lyme and Associated diseases. This year's Lyme Disease Professional Conference will be held on October 28-30, 2011, Friday-Sunday at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, Canada.

The Annual ILADS Professional Conference is designed to foster collaboration and dialogue between Lyme disease researchers and those who care and advocate for Lyme disease patients in a variety of settings. The conference will provide updates in clinical knowledge and treatment techniques. Innovations in care will be addressed in plenary sessions and workshops. Conference objectives are:

• To teach medical professionals the cutting edge techniques of diagnosing and treating Lyme and Other Tick Borne Diseases
• To explore pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic diseases that may apply to Lyme and Other Tick Borne Diseases
• To enhance collaboration between community clinicians and university scientists
• To encourage initiation and publication of clinical studies of Lyme and Other Tick Borne Diseases by ILADS members

MDs, DOs, NDs, DMD, DVM, PhDs, RNs, NPs, PAs, LCSW and select alternative medicine providers. Lyme advocacy members will be encouraged as space permits. Medical students, residents, or interns may register at a discounted rate.
