Things are a little different on this episode of Hands in Motion. As you may already notice, Cara Smith is in the guest seat today and will be the one answering the questions, not asking them! Cara is the Annual Meeting Committee Chair for this year’s ASHT Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT. On this episode, we discuss the ins and outs of the conference, including educational Pre-Conference Institutes, special guests, poster sessions and, of course, the fun social and networking events we have planned!
