Roth Study Club International（RSCI）
The 9th annual conference in Los Angeles

The 9th annual meeting was held in Los Angeles, at Crown Plaza Hotel in Redondo Beach. Many of us enjoyed a refreshing morning walk or a bike ride along the beach. Special thanks to Dr. Kazumi Ikeda and his secretary Kei Miyazaki for all their effort in preparing another successful meeting at a great venue!

It was very encouraging to see the growing circle of discussion surrounding case files. The poster board presentations—which take a lot of time to prepare—were high quality and very informative. We are proud of the peer-learning opportunities the study club provides, and are happy to see the collaborative learning amongst its international members. Oral presentations, as always, were followed by ample discussion time. The two-way communication between the presenter and the attendees with the help of the Japanese and Spanish translators makes our group a one of a kind, truly international meeting. However, there is definitely more room for improvement as a group. Let’s keep going and leveling up!

Thank you so much to every single one of you for yet another successful meeting. It was a fantastic meeting with some old friends from RWISO and some new faces.
