The Annual Sleep Symposium is a premier educational event tailored to clinicians with an interest in Sleep Medicine. Each year, the symposium serves as a platform for both seasoned professionals and those new to the field to deepen their understanding of the latest advancements in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. This program is in partnership with South Piedmont AHEC, who will be handling the registration for the program. 

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge diagnostic tools and innovative treatment options for a wide range of sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome. The program is designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive view of the evolving landscape in Sleep Medicine, equipping them with the knowledge to enhance patient care and improve clinical outcomes. 

In addition to enriching their own expertise, participants will have the chance to engage in multidisciplinary discussions and share best practices with their teams, fostering a collaborative learning environment. This symposium is ideal for clinicians looking to stay informed about the latest research, clinical protocols, and technological advancements in Sleep Medicine.

We look forward to welcoming attendees each year as we work together to advance the field and improve the quality of sleep care for all patients.

This conference is being held both in-person and virtually.

On November 8, 2024, Atrium Health, Wake Forest University School of Medicine Office of Continuing Medical Education and Northwest AHEC organized an innovative educational conference centered on Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic (HPB) and Gastrointestinal (GI) oncology. Featuring multidisciplinary presentations by HPB cancer specialists in medical oncology, surgical oncology, transplant hepatology, and interventional radiology, the event showcased the latest data on HPB malignancy treatments through clinical case studies and interactive audience engagement. This conference brought together healthcare professionals, experts, and leaders to explore the latest advancements in the field of cancer treatment.

With 56 participants and 12 expert speakers, the conference provided an invaluable opportunity for medical professionals to exchange knowledge and foster collaboration.

To celebrate National Volunteer Month, Northwest AHEC is thrilled to empower and assist our team members in making a difference in the community through volunteer work. Our primary focus lies in addressing pressing social issues like food security, housing, and employment. Several Northwest AHEC staff met up on April 4th to kick off National Volunteer Month at Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC to lend a hand in Community Meals, where each week thousands of meals are lovingly prepared, tray packed, and boxed up for delivery to programs serving seniors, children, neighbors living with disabilities, and others.

Northwest AHEC staff were able to volunteer alongside Dr. Cathleen Wheatley, President of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. They worked hard to pack backpacks with the Forsyth Backpack program to give WSFCS students food over spring break.
