Dr. Giardino Appearance

One of G.W. Medical Publishing's most illustrious authors will be presenting a Plenary address at the "Protecting Delaware's Children" conference in Dover next week.

Dr. Angelo Giardino, who has served as head editor on a number of G.W. titles (including Child Maltreatment, Recognition of Child Abuse for the Mandated Reporter, Intimate Partner Violence, and a host of others), will be presenting on unintentional injury and child maltreatment at the conference.

If you're going to be attending, I envy you!

I'm Ba~ack!

So, the trip to Huntsville was a bit more demanding than I'd expected; I have family in the area, and between the symposium and them I found myself stretched a bit too thin to be spending much time online.

Now that I'm back, I'm happy to say that it was a very welcoming environment and that I had a great deal of fun. I got to meet Dr. Rich Kaplan, which was a great deal of fun, and met a lot of other very kind and friendly folks while I was there.

Huntsville, Alabama

So, the powers on high have dictated that I will be in Alabama for the National Child Advocacy Center symposium next week (well, for Monday through Wednesday, anyway). I'll be bringing some books and our gigantic display with me, and my swag should include a few early bird copies of our training curriculum.

Tell me that's not cool.

Anyway, you'll find me at the GW booth, should you be so inclined. I look forward to meeting everyone!

San Diego 2008

So, many of you may already know that I made it out to San Diego this year. It was quite the experience, and I'm very glad to have had a chance to do it. I manned the GW booth for a few days, met a lot of authors, and sold a lot of books - all things that I had hoped to have a chance to do. I do wish I could have schmoozed a bit more while I was there (I was equipped with a credit card, people!), but that's just because I could have gone to fancier restaurants.

My love of food is probably going to become a centerpiece of this blog. It almost isn't healthy.

Anyway, some things that were cool: we brought out the Child Fatality Review book for the first time, we trotted out a printer's proof of our new training curriculum, and we got the ball rolling on a new book. It was all very cool, if a bit over my head, at any rate.

I am particularly proud of the curriculum, not just because it has my name in it (it does!), but also because it was generating a very good level of buzz. I was glad that we brought it, and glad that it'll be coming out so soon, because it seems to be something that people need. You can look for it in early March, or you can drop me an email at kerry (at) gwmedical (dot) com. I'll get you the information.

Anyway, it's time for me to get back to what I'm paid for; I hope you all enjoy your day.
