Join us this Fall in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina on the campus of MAHEC, or from the comfort of your own home via Webex, for a one-of-a-kind conference featuring speakers from Carolina Hand and Sports Medicine, Asheville Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center, Southeastern Sports Medicine, and Mission Health.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about osteoporosis, biological augmentation of rotator cuff pathology, orthostatic hypotension, ortho-trauma stop the bleed, osteoporosis and cervical spine disorders.

Along with learning some exciting things about orthopaedic care, you will have the opportunity to network with other orthopaedic care providers and submit questions to an expert line up of speakers. This will be a continuing education activity for nurses, occupational therapists/assistants and physical therapists/assistants to achieve contact hours. We look forward to having you participate in this educational event.
