The 44th Annual Western Thoracic Surgical Associates Conference (WTSA) was held this year at the Ritz Carlton Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara, CA.
An easy 2 hour drive northwest of Los Angeles, the picturesque Spanish-style villas and conference center are situated on rolling hills of sand covered bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This was Moeller Medical’s first time attending the event, which felt much like a family reunion. Wives, husbands, and children of the nearly 200+ participants interacted with familiar ease. All were made to feel welcome, including us newbies!
The level of interest in LiquoGuard® 7 was above average, and we look forward to further discussions with our new friends in the coming weeks and months.
The WTSA is a “club” to which membership requires the nomination of no less than 3 peers; and although the Association may be perceived as exclusive, the members we interacted with on a daily basis could not have been more kind or accommodating. We are excited to see them again and reacquaint in 2019.
