National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases – June 2024 meeting

Virtual
9:35 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET.

Description

The quarterly meeting of the National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases (NCLD) will be a virtual gathering of NCLD members. The meeting will bring together a multidisciplinary panel of stakeholders and experts who are at the forefront of their respective fields. The planned discussions will play a crucial role in shaping the conversation to improve fundamental knowledge, implementation of practice guidelines, and addressing gaps and disparities in the diagnosis, therapeutics, and access to care for lymphatic disease (LD). The NCLD will explore with the panelists the best strategies to promote innovative strategies among healthcare professionals, educators, and researchers, to address the challenges and opportunities in lymphatic disease LD management and education.

The meeting is open to the public via the NIH VideoCast and a recording will be available in that platform.
