The Convocation was held March 1-4, 2007, at the Founders Inn - Virginia Beach, VA.
Theme: Practice Change: Providing Patient Centered Care
Attendance at the 2007 Convocation was down somewhat from previous years for various reasons, but due in part to several late-season snow storms around the country that stranded some travelers. Even so, many attendees expressed their pleasure with a productive meeting and plenty of opportunities to network and learn from each other.
