Interesting commentary, what about the Pittsburgh Bone Symposium?by anon (no login)I received my invite in the mail. If you didn't, you can email them at CCEHS@upmc.edu for info, the website is: www.UPMC.edu/CCEHS. It is being held August 20-23, 2003. Who should attend? Not only orthopods but neurosurgeons, oral & maxillofacial surgeons and podiatrists and other specialists. They remembered us podiatrists, how nice!!!! So I looked at the speaker list to find out which podiatrists will be speaking. None on the list. But guess what someone better than a podiatrist will be speaking it's Allan Gross, MD, Professor, Department of Surgery Bernard Ghert Chair in Lower Extremity Reconstructive Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, Chief, Division of Orthopedic Surgery, Toronto, Ontario. (Sounds like he has great credentials.) His talk is 55 min long and it is titled, "Allograft Bone and Cartilage in Reconstructive Surgery of the Lower Extremity." I wonder if any podiatrists are doing such procedures yet. If not, we should be! We shouldn't let orthopods get ahead of us. 1 hour out of 22 credit hours not bad, another 8-10 are sort of related to podiatry. But at $575 for the conference I won't be attending bec not enough podiatrists will be speaking. If we email them and complain, maybe they'll remember to include a podiatrist to speak at next year's conference. from IP address 199.212.26.244 Goto Forum Home |
