Invite a new colleague as your guest. Did you know that PNWGS members can bring a guest to enjoy one PNWGS evening program for free as an introduction to our society? Take advantage of this perk. Their CME and MOC Points are always included.
The Session Evaluation, CME Certificate, and MOC Form will be emailed to all participants after the event.
Parking is easy, and valet parking is now included with dinner at the Rainier Club Parking Garage. You will enter the auto court of the Rainier Club on the right as you drive down Columbia Street to enter their garage.
