AM I REGISTERED YET??? Not yet. You must be one of the first two senior or chief residents from your program to register to qualify for CRS Obesity. We do have a limited number of spaces for each type of residency program. If those spaces are filled, you will be waitlisted. You are welcome to register for the waitlist even if two other residents from your program have already completed registration or all the spaces for your type of residency program are filled.
If you are placed on the waiting list and no spaces open up to allow for your attendance, you will be given access to the recorded presentations after the Summit.
We will be following up with you soon with more information. We have a great weekend planned for you!
