We invite you to join us for a three-day intensive CME Functional & Translational Medicine Conference training in the discipline of neuro-developmental disorders and special needs children. The conference will be a great opportunity to embrace innovative treatment options and learn new developments taking place in this fast-growing medical specialty. We cordially welcome you and request for your active participation to adopt new information on various treatment options and cutting-edge medical research.
The Academy is excited to announce that the Plenary Session of MAPS Spring 2020 Functional & Translational Medicine Conference will be focusing entirely on Allergies, apart from covering ACM courses in Immunology, Neurology, MAPS in Clinical Practice, the role of MAPS in clinical practice, and our special session on Genetics.
