acknowledges the following companies for their generous support of the PAOS 14th Annual Meeting

Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery

2 3

Make plans now to attend the 14th Annual Conference

of the Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery (PAOS).

This year’s meeting is September 9th-13th at the JW Marriott

Hill Country Resort and Spa in San Antonio, Texas. Our meeting

has traditionally sold out attendance and we expect this year to

be no different given the popularity of the San Antonio location

and the PAOS proven track record of top-notch events.

PAOS is the primary professional organization of Physician

Assistants (PAs) who specialize in orthopaedic surgery. The

primary goal of the Society is promoting education and training

of PAs specializing in orthopaedic surgery.

Our conference has the reputation as the premier event to

attend for physician assistants in orthopaedic surgery. Join your

colleagues and friends and enjoy the hospitality of the South.

September is the perfect time to visit San Antonio with seasonal

temperatures to enjoy the countless outdoor activities and

many tourist attractions. This is a quality CME conference you

won’t want to miss.

We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio!

locationMany visitors view San Antonio as the ultimate Texas vacation destination. And, that is for good reason. Besides having a quaint, Old Southwest charm, San Antonio is chocked full of attractions and entertainment options, leaving most visitors wishing they had more time to spend in the Alamo City.

It is hard to say what the most popular attraction is in San Antonio. But, the Alamo, Riverwalk, and Hemisfair Park are “must-see” landmarks. In addition, there are many popular family-oriented attractions that include the world-famous San Antonio Zoo, which houses over 3,500 animals, and San Antonio theme parks such as Sea World and Fiesta Texas. San Antonio also offers several unique dining and lodging options, ensuring that visitors have a memorable vacation.

Located just 20 minutes from the San Antonio International Airport, the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa offers the beauty of the Texas Hill Country combined with nearby city and resort luxury conveniences.

World Class Accommodations Blended with Texas Hospitality:The Resort’s 1,002-rooms, including 85 suites, reflect the comfortable style and hospitality of the Texas Hill Country. The spacious rooms feature custom designed furniture and finishes that make use of hand-tooled leather, copper and ironwork. Spacious bathrooms feature the space and serenity that guests expect from a luxury resort experience.
