Primary Care Research On Low Back Pain
June 14–17, 2009
Workshops
This year we will be running two workshop sessions. One will be on Tuesday June 16 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and the other will be on Wednesday June 17 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., which is immediately following the official close of the Forum.
