[Diabetes-Talk] The agenda once again for the seminar

Thu May 1 17:39:02 UTC 2025

Hi, Debbie! I am so excited reading this agenda, and I really wish I could attend this seminar. I am finishing my third year finals on that Friday and would like to attend virtually after my last exam is done and possibly on Saturday.
Also, I would Really love to assist with or present at this event next year when I will be graduated with my doctor of Pharmacy.
Maybe we can connect at national convention.
Sincerely
Emily Schlenker
