It's a Wrap!

Hi Audrey,
The 2012 Annual Meeting concluded just about a month ago and it was THE BEST in our history! If you were not amontg the 270+ participants, you missed an event to end all others! Fear not! You can still "be in the know." That's right! You can view the presentations, listen to the audio, and read the transcripts!
Our Annual Meeting Committee has already begun talks about 2013. Our 16th Annual Meeting is scheduled for the weekend of April 26-28, 2013 in San Francisco, CA!

How many docs does it take...
|
No, it's not a joke, it's a reality. During the 2012 Annual Meeting's IPPF Update, Dr. Dave Sirois talked about a recent study the IPPF funded that showed it takes newly diagnosed patients an average of 5 physicians almost a year to properly diagnose and treat pemphigus or pemphigoid! What makes it worse is Dr. Sirois published a paper almost a decade ago that showed the same results! Basically things are the same they were 10 years ago!
But it doesn't have to be that way! The IPPF is committed the rest of 2012 to increasing physician awareness, and we need your help!
