Greetings!
As you can see from the schedules below, we are planning for a busy 2020. We hope that you will be able to join us for one or more events. Even if you can not join us in person, we will place as much material on our website as we possibly can, so that you can still learn and share with those of us in attendance.
In this newsletter, you will note that we will soon begin our "community workshop" program for a variety of topics in biotherapy. Workshops will be aimed at specific audiences (i.e., patients, healthcare providers, healthcare educators, etc). Although these courses will be presented intimately and locally, anyone is invited to register and attend, and be part of our "community."
Our programs will be even "BeTER" if you tell us what training you want to attend (or teach). So . . . .
Let us know which of the listed topics you most wish to attend.
Let us know if there are other topics that you would like to learn.
Let us know if you would like to teach at these or future workshops.
Of course, we still offer regional workshops for larger audiences, so let us know if you would like the BTER Foundation to come to your town to present a stand-alone program or a single lecture at your next event.
Finally,
the demand for qualified speakers is increasing beyond our capacity. If you are a healthcare professional, interested in speaking about any aspect of biotherapy,
contact the BTER Foundation to be added to our speak list. We will then pass on any speaking offers that arise. Some are paid, some offer CME . . . you can specify your requirements, or else let us pass on all opportunities for you to choose individually. We even offer speaker training and supportive materials, should you desire.
With best wishes, always,
