Announcing an International Conference Occupational Lung Disease: Up Close

May 10th, 2007 at Cambrian College's eDome in Sudbury, Ontario

The Sudbury Occupational Health Clinic is pleased to announce an
International Conference on Occupational Lung Disease: Up Close, and we hope
that you will join us. This conference will provide a forum and discussion
of Occupational Lung Diseases in order to address scientific understanding
and draw public attention to these health issues.

We have been most fortunate in being able to attract world leaders in the
field of asbestos and silica diseases including mesothelioma. These premier
experts include Dr.Tee Guidotti, Dr. Michele Carbone, and Dr. David
Goldsmith. Many conferences would count it a success to have but one of
these visionary scientists speaking at their conference. In Sudbury we have
the distinct honour of having these three experts join together with us in
this task.

The May 10th conference will employ the most advanced knowledge transfer
methods as the meeting will be held at the eDome centre at Cambrian College
in Sudbury. The plan is to reach out to the widest possible international
audience including, but not limited to, clinical medical experts, family
physicians, and other health care providers who treat these patients. The
Occupational Health Clinic has partnered with unions and community business
partners in this initiative. We have also taken this opportunity to increase
awareness of these diseases in our medical and nursing schools in the North.

Together we can make a difference. In the not too distant future, we hope
to be able to say that this group who met in Sudbury on May 10th, 2007
helped change how we understand these occupational lung diseases for future
generations.
