NOTE: 2005 Lecture Schedule presently being arranged. The simplest way for arranging a presentation for Medical staff is to contact me directly at our main office at (858) 271-1151.

I have also prepared and given numerous lectures & seminars to non-medical personnel including senior citizen groups, church and temple organizations, parent-teacher organizations, etc.

I have also given lectures to other medical personnel including hospital nursing staffs as well as the S.D. Unified School Nurses.
