About Hot Spots 2.0

What:  Hot Spots 2.0
When: June 6 – 7, 2015
Where:  West Vancouver, British Columbia   
Why: See below
West Vancouver Sea Wall
We’ve held Hot Spots in Dermatology since 1987.  Most of the meetings have been in Hawaii, but we’ve also convened in Victoria, BC, Penang, Malaysia, Havana, Cuba and with the AAD conferences in San Francisco and New Orleans.

The World Congress of Dermatology will be held in Vancouver from June 8 – 13, 2015, and we thought it would be a convenient time to gather some colleagues who like the Hot Spots philosophy in West Vancouver for a day (or two) devoted to the humanities and dermatology.  The World Congress will be your typical Mega-Conference with thousands of registrants aimlessly milling around a cavernous convention centre.  Hot Spots 2.0 will be a small meeting of 15 – 20 cognoscenti devoted to topics related to humane medicine and the medical humanities.

Each person will pay for her/his own food and beverage costs and a share of the room rental.  It will be very reasonable.  All registrants will pay the same amount.  If there are students or trainees attending, we will offer scholarships.
