MAPA Spring CME Conference will now be held virtually

Due to the ongoing concern for our MAPA constituents, fellow patients, families, colleagues regarding the COVID-19 virus, as well as the Governor's declaration, the in-person event at Lahey Clinic will not be available. Instead, MAPA leadership has decided the conference will be held via WebEx on Saturday, March 28 from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
