Annual Obstetrical and Gynecological Assembly of Southern
California

Los Angeles-Marina Del Rey, CA April 3 – 4, 2009


Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to the 64
th
Annual Obstetrical and Gynecological Assembly of Southern California.
This meeting is one of the oldest conferences in our field in Southern California, and carries great
pride and prestige. Throughout its history, the meeting has evolved in keeping with the needs of
clinicians and academicians in the community and continues to contribute to the education of its
attendees.
Once again, we have worked to make the meeting efficient and compact. The planning
committee has put together an exciting and ambitious program comprised of up-to-date speakers
and subjects. As in the past, the Luncheon Roundtables are a major highlight. By opening up
dialogue between the faculty and attendees, we hope to enhance the educational experience and
enjoyment of the program.
The program concentrates on Gynecology on the first day of the meeting, and on Obstetrics the
second day, allowing attendees more freedom in selecting their personal areas of interest.

Keeping

in line with the electronic media age each attendee will receive a CD version of the syllabus for
more convenient and permanent access.

At this year’s meeting we will honor Dr. Philip DiSaia, one of the great leaders in the history of
the Assembly, and one of the most significant teachers and mentors for many of us here in
Southern California.
This conference offers an opportunity to participate in a Southern Californian tradition with
personal access to the faculty, informative round table luncheons, and fabulous exhibits. Please
j
oin us this year! We look forward to seeing you and hope that these changes will make this a
meeting not to be missed.

Thank you for your attendance and continued support of the Assembly.
