Webinar: Clinical Care and Research in the Early Stages of Schizophrenia
From top: S. Charles Schulz, Barbara Cornblatt, and John Kane.
In the lead-up to next year’s 13th International Congress on Schizophrenia Research in Colorado Springs, Colorado, SRF and the ICOSR will host a series of Webinars on topics of high current interest. Please join us on Friday, 30 July 2010, at 12:00 noon, U.S. Eastern Time, as ICOSR co-director S. Charles Schulz of the University of Minnesota will lead a webinar panel that includes Barbara Cornblatt of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, John Kane of North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Andrea Auther of the Zucker Hillside Hospital, and Michael O’Sullivan of the University of Minnesota in the discussion of recent and current research on the early stages of schizophrenia.

This discussion will be held in conjunction with the Schizophrenia International Research Society and the International Prodromal Research Network, which will host the Psychosis Satellite Meeting at ICOSR 2011.

Diverging from our usual technology, this event will be a Webinar, with live presentations (slides) that members can watch on their computers while listening in on their telephones. Preregistration is required. Please review the instructions to follow upon registration.

These discussions benefit greatly from comments and questions posted ahead of time, so please take this opportunity to post a comment.
