Satellite Symposia!

The North Carolina Society of Gastroenterology recognizes that satellite events are often arranged in conjunction with its scheduled CME activities as a convenience to the target audience in attendance. The NCSG Society remains sensitive to assuring that these programs are appropriately used for educational purposes. NCSG retains the right to limit a company’s right to priority or participation in future years if a particular satellite symposium program were to deviate markedly from the professional, educational atmosphere and decorum of the meeting.
