Meeting Date: May 24-27, 2012
Quality of Meeting: Overall excellent. The speakers were very good and the topics were relevant to clinical practice. Objectives were met for each of the topics presented. I did not attend the hand’s on ultrasound workshop but was told that it was very good also. I especially enjoyed the topics presented by Dr. Murphy. He was well informed and interacted with the audience
Quality of location: Again, excellent. The host hotel was nice and located in Central Downtown. There were many good restaurants close to the hotel. Philadelphia had many historic sites as well as museums. I was pleasantly surprised at all the murals covering walls in the downtown area. It was an easy area to keep active by walking and biking. I especially enjoyed a bike ride along the trail by the river.
Value for the money: Excellent. NWAS puts on a lot of meetings and have developed a quality faculty. They seek sites that are great getaway locations. I will attend another NWAS meeting next year.
