CPCN National Conference 2009  By Graham MercerThe conference program committee has designed the sixth annual CPCN national conference so that delegates will not only hear from internationally renowned presenters, they will also have ample opportunity to share their personal, family, and support group experiences. The focus of this "get together" will be on providing a little quality time for relaxing, sharing, and learning. As we say in Newfoundland and Labrador, "You're going to have a time, my boy." The presenters include Dr. Mark A. Moyad, M.D., M.P.H.  Dr. Moyad occupies an endowed position created and funded entirely by his patients. He is the Phil F. Jenkins Director of Preventive & Alternative Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center (Department of Urology). His endowed position allows him to be refreshingly objective and candid about what works and what is worthless to stay healthy. The primary author of over 80 medical articles, Dr. Moyad is the editor-in-chief of the medical journal Seminars in Preventive & Alternative Medicine, published by Elsevier. He is also an editor or regular reviewer for numerous medical journals and the co-author or author of five books. More than 2,300 Web sites refer to his work. Additionally, he has maintained a consulting practice in preventive and alternative medicine for the last 10 years. During this time, Dr. Moyad has developed a unique and fundamental framework for disease prevention, one that recognizes the importance of evidence-based objective investigations of both alternative and traditional treatments. Dr. John Mulhall, M.D.  Dr. Mulhall is an associate professor in the Department of Urology at Cornell University Weill Medical College and the director of the Sexual Medicine Program.

He received his fellowship subspecialty training in male sexual and reproductive dysfunction at Boston University School of Medicine. The Sexual Medicine Program encompasses the evaluation and treatment of males with erectile dysfunction (ED). His clinical research interests include postoperative preservation of erectile function following radical pelvic surgery, erectile dysfunction as a harbinger of coronary artery disease, and androgen supplementation in males and females with sexual dysfunction. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Robert P. Nelson Award for his research, which was awarded by the Sexual Medicine Society of North America. He is also on many committees of national and international organizations pertaining to his specialty. He is an internationally recognized speaker on the subjects of male and female sexual dysfunction, a specialty section editor for the Journal of Urology, and a reviewer for multiple journals. Dr. Mulhall has published in excess of 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and has authored many book chapters on topics related to his field of expertise. Dr. T. A.
