PNA Webinar: "Diagnosed with a Pituitary Tumor: What Next?" Available OnLine

The webinar presentation by Aaron A. Cohen-Gadol, M.D., M.Sc. on April 21st, entitled, "You Have Been Diagnosed with a Pituitary Tumor: What Next?” was a rousing success!

Participants from around the country included patients and physicians alike. Unique to this presentation was the technology he employs with hi def camera and the ability for the audience to view not only his slide presentation but to see him as well...live! His presentation included valuable information specifically about surgical options for treatment. In addition, participants were able to type questions during the presentation so Dr. Cohen-Gadol could respond. It is a rare opportunity to be able to ask poignant questions of a physician with such a level of expertise! And, being able to actually see the presenter live as he is talking made for so much more of a personal encounter! Very positive feedback was received from those who signed-on saying such things as, "This is amazing!" "The picture quality is wonderful!" ...and many more praises.

This presentation covered the following:
