The 1st Annual Keeneland Conference was a success in great part to the speakers who took time out of their busy schedules to serve as panelists during our Scientific Sessions and Discussions.

On this page you will find links to PDFs of the PowerPoint presentations each panelist shared.  We are also interested in fostering further discussion on the topics presented.   Below the resources on this page, we have included a link to the section on our Discussion Board where you can post a question for the presenter. 

We encourage you to explore all of the interactive aspects of the PHSSR website. 
Additionally, please SAVE the DATE for the 2nd Annual Keeneland Conference, April 7-9, 2009 in Lexington, Kentucky!
