Frequently Asked Questions About SDCMS Seminars and Events
Question: When are most SDCMS seminars and events held?
Answer: Most are held during lunchtime or dinnertime, with lunch and dinner provided free of charge. Lunchtime seminars usually target office staff, and dinnertime seminars usually target physicians, though all member physicians and their office staff can attend all of our seminars.
