Make plans now to attend the 17th Annual Conference of the Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery (PAOS). This year’s meeting is August 22-26, at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, AZ.

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 meeting has traditionally sold out attendance and we expect this year to be no different given the popularity of the location and the proven track record of PAOS for top-notch events. Our conference has the reputation as the premier event to attend for physician assistants in orthopaedic surgery.

Join your colleagues and friends and enjoy all the Scottsdale area has to offer. This is a quality CME conference you won’t want to miss. We look forward to seeing you in Scottsdale! Benjamin Kocher, DSc, PA-CContinuing Education Chair
