The continued growth in orthopaedic technologies, techniques and devices
in an age of increasing focus on improved patient outcomes is changing
the delivery of orthopaedic care. Understanding the changing trends
requires orthopaedic surgeons to consider new approaches and options.
The 2013 COA Annual Meeting is centrally located in Winnipeg, Manitoba
and will attract a high number of surgeons from all over Canada.
Program Co-Chairs Drs. Eric Bohm and Ted Tufescu have focused their
efforts on producing a scientific program that is both relevant and valuable
for Canadian orthopaedic surgeons. Instructional Course Lectures on both
common and controversial topics along with plenary sessions that feature
hot topics symposia, tips & tricks, panels and debates will give members
the flexibility to follow one theme of interest or moving between areas of
interest at the meeting. New this year, the theme for the meeting will be
"Discovery". Your products and services need to play an important role in
the embodiment of this theme!
The social program will continue the COA tradition of facilitating the
valuable networking opportunities with colleagues and friends while having
fun.
Our members are looking for the clinical solutions that your company may
have to offer. If heightened brand awareness is what you are looking for,
this exciting meeting of the COA is the solution that you need.
