Roth Study Club International（RSCI）
The 8th annual conference in Washington DC

Our meeting was held in Washington D.C. this year, at Doubletree Crystal City. Dr. James Sieberth and his right hand, Kim, worked very hard to help prepare for the meeting. On behalf of the members, I would like to thank James and Kim for their efforts in making this meeting yet another success!

The Washington D.C. meeting was the 8th RSCI meeting. We invited Dr. Eiki Koyama from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute for our Special Lecture. We were able to learn about special characteristics of the TMJ from a developmental perspective. Dr. Koyama was able to join us for the second day of the meeting and listen to the members’ presentations. We had a valuable exchange of information and knowledge!

The case files showed continuous growth of the members. It was clear that each member was inspired by other members’ case files. Discussion Sessions with various themes were added as part of the program to encourage even more discussion and exchange of knowledge amongst the members. It was a wonderful meeting!
