Weather permitting, join us for a beautiful reception on Friday night overlooking the Monterey

Interesting sightseeing, shopping, strolling along the historic Cannery Row & Monterey Bay

Saturday’s socio-economic program is one you should not miss, especially in light of the new
HealthCare legislation happening in our country! Experts will be available to answer your questions &
concerns regarding how these new laws will affect your practices!
Residents from the ten neurosurgical programs will round out the meeting on Sunday! This event was
