Short Course Index Short courses comprise a major component of the educational program at the Annual Meeting. Approximately 60 short courses are scheduled each year. These courses are presented by recognized educators and they provide a plethora of pearls and take-home diagnostic clues on dozens of organ systems and topics. Accepted courses are typically scheduled for a four-year term and material from some courses which have been retired is being made available on this web site.
