There are so many biotherapy activities and events coming up in the next several months that I can only mention a few of them here. For a quick overview, read through the
Conferences section below.
The long-awaited 10th International Conference on Biotherapy will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, October 4-9, 2017. It is not too late to submit an abstract to the organizing committee, so check out the details
below, or view complete details on the
Conference website
.
If you are not able to attend, then stop by for the annual half-day Maggot Therapy course, co-sponsored by the BTER Foundation at the Wild on Wounds Conference (October 4-7, Las Vegas). Each year, the BTER Foundation presents didactic and hands-on workshops in maggot therapy at the Conference. For more information, see the
Wild on Wounds Website.
The
Biotherapy Live! program is now up and running on Facebook Live. Check out the schedule below and visit us live or watch the recording on our
Facebook page. If you can not make the program, just post or
email us your questions, and we will try to address them on the program. We have a growing list of experts who will be available to answer your questions,
Of course, you do not need to wait that long to have the BTER Foundation answer your maggot therapy questions or help with your biotherapy needs. The Foundation and its members have been
teaching classes, offering workshops, and making site visits for years. To schedule a
lecture or workshop at your next meeting or conference, just
give us a call or
send us a message.
Have a Great Summer, with a healthy dose of Learning!
With best wishes, always,
Ron Sherman
