Avanti Therapeutic Projects Symposium
The Avanti Therapeutic Projects Symposium is a continuation of a staple in pediatric continuing education that began in 1980. First run by Eileen Richter and known as the PDP Symposium and then the RAIR Symposium, it was then passed to Heather Schmidt and was known as the Integrative Education Symposium. Avanti Therapeutic Projects has accepted the torch of continuing on the Symposium’s mission of being a trusted source of annual professional development courses and a valuable networking event for pediatric professionals.
