Andrew Burgess, MD

John Clohisy, MD

Save the date for the VOS 70th Annual Meeting at the beautiful Boar's Head Inn in Charlottesville, Virginia. We have secured an exciting lineup of guest speakers including Drs. John Clohisy and Andy Burgess. One of the preeminent hip preservation surgeons in the world, Dr. Clohisy, is the Director of the Center for Adolescent and Young Hip Disorders as well as the Chief of the Adult Reconstruction service at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Burgess is currently at the University of Texas, Houston and is known for his seminal work on pelvic injury classification and for forging collaborations between engineers and physicians to enhance automobile safety. There will also be the first annual Resident Quiz Bowl on Friday evening pitting regional resident teams against each other for prizes and bragging rights (at least until the second annual quiz bowl occurs). Scientific presentations, panel discussions, multiple poster sessions and a PA/NP breakout session will provide educational opportunities for everyone. There are also plans for a career planning session for medical students interested in Orthopaedics. But don’t forget, the meeting is also about catching up with colleagues and friends from around the state. Boar's Head Inn is home to the stunning Birdwood Golf Course as well as outstanding tennis and squash facilities. There are numerous other attractions including the Blue Ridge mountains and Parkway, numerous wineries and breweries within 30 minutes and the University of Virginia. So make plans to join us and encourage your partners, PA/NP’s and residents and students to attend as well.
