Scientific Program

Plenary Sessions and Workshops focused on controversies and opportunities for future improvements in prevention.
Vendor seminars presented technical information on commercial products.
Short Courses covered current accepted practices and were offered in four tracks simultaneously:
    (1) Percutaneous Penetration,
    (2) On-Site Applications,
    (3) Hazard Assessment, and
    (4) Clinical Trends.
