Friday, May 15, 2020, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, The Richmond Marriott, Richmond, VA

03/25/20 Update: We have been closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 in our community and throughout the United States. In order to safeguard the health and well-being of our learners, faculty, staff and communities, the planning committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the VCU Comprehensive Stroke Symposium scheduled for May 15, 2020.

With the increased risk of exposure to COVID-19, containment measures, travel restrictions, and the need for health care providers to be in their facilities and in their communities, this cancellation is necessary.

Those who are currently registered and paid-in-full for the conference will be receiving a full refund to their original form of payment by April 30, 2020. No action is required to receive this refund, unless specific notice has been received stating otherwise. 

03/20/20 Update: Registration is temporarily closed while we evaluate our options to deliver this content to you. Click here to sign-up to be notified when registration reopens.

This activity is currently scheduled to run as planned. The health and well-being of our learners, faculty, staff and communities are of paramount importance to us. We will continue to monitor the development of COVID-19, containment measures, travel restrictions, and guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). If needed, postponement, cancellation, or change of format will be announced in advance of the scheduled activity date.

We are also cognizant of the need for health care providers to be available to support their communities. As such we are extending our normal cancellation and refund policy through the day of the activity.
