Excerpt
The National TB Controllers Association (NTCA) and the Division of TB Elimination (DTBE) planned and carried out a very successful TB Controllers Workshop this summer in Washington, DC. Over 300 people attended the meeting, which was held June 10 to 11, 2003, at the Capital Hilton. This year’s conference theme was “Maintaining Momentum.” Rather than describe every talk that was given, I will summarize several highlights.
