Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to invite you to our 2015 Hematology and Medical Oncology Best Practices Course August 13-20, 2015, at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City.

Now in its 30th year, this course has become widely recognized as the most comprehensive board review for physicians preparing to take the Hematology and Medical Oncology certification exams or those desiring a comprehensive update of hematology and medical oncology standards of care.

There are several unique features that set this review apart from the others:

n Expert Faculty - our faculty, unmatched in experience and expertise, will present the latest scientific findings in oncology and best practices in the advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. n Daily Q&A review sessions - allows attendees to gauge their knowledge base and become familiar with board-type questions.

n Study Resources – all course attendees will receive complimentary access to the course App and the archived recordings of the lectures for one year.

This year the course has been moved to the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City. This hotel is located just moments from Washington DC and offers easy access to historic monuments, world-class museums, fine dining, and shopping.

Additional details about the course can be found at www.HemOncBestpractices.com.

I hope to see you in August.

Sincerely,

Robert S. Siegel, M.D.
