Society of Gynecologic Oncology hosts first hybrid meeting

Numerous faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students from Columbia University presented at this year's Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2022 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer, which took place in a hybrid format from March 18-21, 2022. A comprehensive forum for the subspecialty of gynecologic oncology, the meeting was held in person in Phoeniz, Ariz. and also open to virtual attendees. 

The hybrid format marks the first time in three years there has been an in-person component to the event, which brings together subspecialists in gynecologic oncology for cutting-edge education, multidisciplinary networking and inspiring special events. The event also offers the opportunity to network with physicians, researchers, allied health professionals, and other practitioners; learn new techniques that can be applied to day-to-day practice; and get energized to deliver excellent patient care.
