WAOPS held their Fall Conference last week, November 4-5, at the Holiday Inn & Suites Madison West in Madison, WI.  The CME committee planned an excellent program that kept attendees engaged with a range of topics and interactive talks. WAOPS even had their first virtual speaker, Dr. Melisa Lott streamed in successfully from Chicago, IL who spoke on Hypertension in Pregnancy. A great lineup of speakers filled the rest of the program including Dr. Kevin Klauer, the American Osteopathic Association CEO who flew in to speak. WAOPS was also able to once again offer Opioid credits through Drs. Gibbons and Sullivan's talk Medications for OUD (MOUD) Starter Pack. Thank you to all of our presenters, attendees and exhibitors who were able to join us!
