Kenes Group to Manage Event with Potential to Change the Future of Diabetes Care and Research: 3rd World Congress on Interventional Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes: WCITT2D 2015
"The advanced scientific program will be coupled with an unparalleled opportunity for attendees to participate in the evaluation of new guidelines and recommendations for the surgical treatment of diabetes," comments Prof. Francesco Rubino, MD, Congress Chair, Chair, Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery King's College London.
"Attending the 3rd World Congress & DSS-II is a unique opportunity to be a part of and witness history and we invite medical professionals and clinicians to join the world's leading experts and policy makers in this ground-breaking endeavor. More importantly, this is not a specialized surgical conference nor an endocrinology conference, but rather the only forum in the world that brings together physicians, surgeons, basic scientists, industry leaders, and policy makers, while also representing the perspective of patients," he added.
Prof. David e. Cumming, DSS Co-Director, Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition, University of Washington, states "Cutting-edge evidence related to bariatric/metabolic surgery will be presented and used to generate new, modern guidelines for the use and study of gastrointestinal surgery to treat diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic diseases. We welcome you to witness and participate in this historic event".
The 3rd World Congress was established to address the challenges and seize the opportunities that surgery offers to diabetes care and research. It is an international forum where a stellar faculty of clinicians, scientists, and policy makers discuss available evidence on the use and study of bariatric/metabolic surgery and new device-based intervention. The overarching aim of the congress is to craft an agenda of research priorities and health policy initiatives. The consensus portion of the meeting (DSS-II) will be attended by global policy-makers and organized in partnership with the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the European Society for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Diabetes UK, Chinese Diabetes Society and Diabetes India.
