Audience

This summit is for researchers, clinicians, and other professionals interested in lysosomal diseases. The content for this event is not targeted to patients and families.


Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Certificate

This summit will be run independently of an Australian CPD home. However, attendees planning to self-record a CPD activity with the CPD home related to their practice will be required to complete a course evaluation. Upon completion of the summit, attendees may download/print a certificate confirming their involvement in the Summit. The certificate can be used in the case of a future CPD audit.

This Education Activity will provide a minimum of 10.0 hours of CPD; the total number of CPD credits will be determined once the agenda is finalized.
