International Metabolic Conference

The International Metabolic Conference for Families and Individuals Impacted by Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders, is an  event dedicated to advancing knowledge and collaboration of patients, clinicians, and researchers. In partnership with Dr. Jerry Vockley, Melanie Gillingham, and INFORM, MitoAction assembles leading experts to present to patients, families, caregivers, and clinicians about disease management, clinical trials, nutrition, and the social needs related to FAODs. This is a great opportunity for patients, families, and clinicians to meet one another, share lived experiences, and learn; as we gain insight in moving forward as a community. 

This year we will meet VIRTUALLY and ALL are welcome! Whether you are new to the FAOD community, a family member, caregiver, or adult patient; there is something for everyone!  Clinicians are encouraged to attend too! Invite your child’s pediatrician, your PCP or the new “Fellow” at your metabolic clinic!  Practical and scientific presentations will co-exist in this space!

We are trying to cultivate numerous opportunities for people to connect this year! So find a roundtable or mid-week presentation to participate in from July 19th-24! Then join us for presentations Saturday, July 25, from 10 am to 4 pm EST and Sunday, July 26, from 1 to 6 pm EST!

Together we learn, we love, we grow!
