2016 PAMED House of Delegates Official Reports Book Last Updated: 10/21/16 Attention Delegates and Alternate Delegates: There will be no printed copies of this Official Reports Book (ORB) at the House of Delegates this year. All meeting rooms will have WiFi, but due to the larger file size we recommend you print or save this ORB before arriving at the meeting. You will want to bring your computer or tablet to the meeting to access updates. On Sunday, reference committee reports will be posted to www.pamedsoc.org/HOD to be accessed prior to the caucuses and opening of the House. The ORB will be updated as we receive changes or additions. A date will appear at the top indicating when it has been updated. A * will mark revised sections. To access this PDF offline you will need to save it to your computer. Click on the disk icon in the top left or select Save from the File menu. The ORB can easily be navigated using the table of contents or by turning on the bookmarks navigation panel from under View. If you are on a tablet, we recommend you open this in a PDF reader application (i.e., iBooks, Amazon Kindle App, etc). Use the table of contents or your tablet’s bookmark feature to navigate the ORB.
