What is Candida?

It is the question to the Cytology Jeopardy answer "This fungal organism presents with pseudohyphae and spores"-which seemed to have a mind of its own during our last session of the meeting. We somehow had a technical glitch, and this question just kept popping up at random! Regardless, all of the participants - students and seasoned veterans- had a great time playing cytology trivia in this fun and interactive platform. We will definitely have to think about bringing it back for next year!

We also discussed legislative and current practice issues in the two other sessions of the day. There was a lot of valuable discussion, and I hope everyone came away from these presentations with useful information and a better understanding of the legislative process.

I would like to thank Jill Caudill for a GREAT meeting, Beth Denny for her ever faithful support as Executive Director, all of the vendors who support us and, most importantly, all of the participants that make these meetings such fun and energizing events. My thanks also goes out to Brent Brewerton for his guidance and leadership as President over the last year, and to all of the new and outgoing officers that work so hard to make this organization work for you.

Thanks so much for a wonderful 2008 Annual Conference, and I will see you all in St. Petersburg, FL, next year!
