IAHCSMM in Wonderland

San Diego Pre-Conference Hands-on
Labs & Workshops

IAHCSMM will be offering a special Pre-Conference Workshop for our attendees on Saturday, May 1, 2010. The Hands-On Labs and Workshops will address the daily challenges of Central Service and Sterile Processing professionals in their day to day departmental operations.  For full titles of the labs and workshops, please refer to the information below.

Please note the following important items for registering for any Hands-On Lab or Workshop

  • There is no additional charge for these educational sessions, though online pre-registration is required
  • All Labs and Workshop G repeat 4 times (9am, 10:15am, 1pm and 2:15pm)
  • Workshop H has 4 separate sessions offered once only
  • Sessions below indicate times and topics available (if a time is not listed, that means the topic is at capacity for that indicated time)

Only registrations completed online will be accepted, and a valid return email address is required to receive a confirmation of attendance.  You will need to bring this confirmation for admittance to any of your selected sessions.  Do not submit a printed version of your selections as it will not be processed. Seating is limited, and it’s recommended to register early. Please make sure you have made proper airline and hotel arrangements to be in attendance for any selected sessions (note: these events are a Pre-Conference event scheduled only for Saturday May 1, 2010).  Finally, if you are planning on attending the IAHCSMM San Diego Zoo trip scheduled for the same day, please refer to your personal schedule to judge if time permits attendance to both of these events.


Pre-Conference Hands-On Labs and Workshop
