Short Courses

There will be 10 short courses offered in-person at the 74th ASMS Conference in San Diego. These will be a combination of 1-day and 2-day courses. Registration for all short courses is ADVANCE only. There is no on-site course registration. Please plan accordingly referencing the deadlines below. In addition, some courses sell-out before the deadlines.

  • All short courses are subject to close before the April 30 advance registration deadline based on class size limits set by instructors.
  • Late registration for all courses closes on May 23. There is no onsite registration for short courses.
  • Read the description for the short course as some courses require specific prerequisites. To help with this, we asked the instructors to rate the level of their course as (Introductory / Intermediate / Advanced).
