POMA District 1

District 1 Recap - March 13, 2019

The right diagnosis can be difficult. Symptoms can be a sign of several different possible issues. X-ray and scan technology can clarify a challenging situation. But there may be even more advanced techniques and technologies that will help make it more clear, with less risk.

Philadelphia area members gathered, hosted by POMA District 1, at the Delmonico's Steak House on City Avenue near the PCOM campus on Wednesday, March 13^th to discuss and learn about such technologies. The evolutions of bronchoscopy have taken another step forward and members watched and learned firsthand. The group was taken aback by how far things have come, and the doctors enjoyed learning more about these robotic options that help with recovery time and lower dangers for their patient. The members are excited about the enhanced care this will provide to patients.
