Robert W. Metcalf, MD, Memorial Meeting 2015
The 2015 Metcalf/AANA meeting was held January 2015 under blue skies at Snowbird, Utah. An attendance of 300 representing 46 states and 11 different countries were treated to an outstanding educational experience covering all aspects of shoulder problems, knee, and cartilage pathology with a patella emphasis, as well as a detailed hip session covering all aspects of hip arthroscopy.
Panel discussions were extensive and lively and covered cases relevant to topics presented and offered a variety of thoughts and approaches. The faculty did a superb job of being available and interactive with all attendees and enhanced the collegiality felt by all who attended.
Thirty different companies were represented as well and offered a widely diverse array of options for helping accomplish needs from education to instruments and implants. A separate non-CME industry session allowed registrants an up-close look at many different options on enhancing their abilities to accomplish complex surgical procedures.
The entire meeting was felt to be a unique learning experience by all who attended and set up next year to be even better. So don’t miss Metcalf/AANA 2016 at Sun Valley, Idaho, February 4–7 for a world class meeting and unmatched skiing!
Sincerely,
Robert T. Burks, MD
