From the Hyatt Regency Bethesda, take the Metro Red line one stop from the Bethesda station to the Medical Center Station. From all other locations, use the WMATA Trip Planner. Be sure to allow yourself enough time to pass thru the NIH Campus Security. The Natcher Auditorium (Building 45) is a 5 minute walk from the Medical Center station or a short ride on the NIH Campus Limited Shuttle.
