A NOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION FEES: The DFCM Event Committee works hard to ensure that our attendees are treated to a day of knowledge in an environment that is conducive to learning and the sharing of pertinent ideas. Organizing events of this kind come at a cost for DFCM and these expenses accrue every year. This year, we will be charging the same fees to attendees as the 2018 DFCM Conference to ensure the partial recovery of costs incurred for this event.
The registration fees will be structured as follows:
Faculty Members: $100.00
Non-Faculty: $150.00
Learners (residents and MD students): $20.00
Staff: $20.00
Registration fees will be used solely to offset the cost of logistics which include catering, conference rooms and AV.
