TOA is accredited by the Texas Medical Association's Continuing Medical Education Committee to provide orthopaedic surgeons throughout Texas the most up-to-date knowledge, trends and techniques in orthopaedic surgery. We are privileged to have an all-star cast of experts to teach us new and updated cutting edge techniques and concepts. L. Edward Seade, MD, and his team on the Program Committee have fashioned a program for everyone, from the general orthopaedic surgeon to the specialist, including:

  • Symposia by the world's experts on exciting and timely topics in the areas of foot and ankle, shoulder and elbow, spine, sports medicine and arthroscopy, trauma, adult reconstruction hip and knee, and pediatrics;

  • Technical exhibits showing the “latest and greatest” in orthopaedic products and services;

  • Legislative update on health care issues important to orthopaedics, and

  • 7th Annual Resident Quiz Bowl.

Resident awards for best papers range from $1500 to $500 and will be awarded at the TOA Annual Business Luncheon.

More program information and a registration mailing will be sent to TOA members next month. We hope that you will consider being a part of another outstanding TOA annual program!
