    • 32nd Meeting, Toronto, ON

      1977-06-22

      32nd annual meeting held in Toronto, ON.

      • All medical specialty societies, including the CUA, firmly oppose “recertification by examination”. Alternatively, “Continuing Education” is supported by all specialty societies.  Therefore, going forward, CME programs (pre-structured topic-based sessions) are added to the Scientific Program.
      • CUA Members are encouraged to become CUASF Members, except those planning to request funds
