Each year, the Whirling Disease Foundation, Whirling Disease Initiative, and other sponsors hold the national Whirling Disease Symposium. This event provides an excellent forum to discuss the latest research advancements and has been a central component of the collaborative approach to whirling disease research and management on a national level.
