ASPS Holds Inaugural Surgical Conference

On June 7-8, ASPS held its Inaugural Surgical Conference, which was deemed a success by conference attendees and faculty. The conference featured great attendance and innovative, surgically-focused educational lectures and workshops. This 14-CECH conference covered topics such as Charcot, Flatfoot Reconstruction, Advancements in Foot & Ankle Surgery, and ICD-10. Workshop topics covered included hands-on forefoot/midfoot procedures and ankle arthroscopy.  All conference attendees received a flash-drive with the conference presentations and materials on them at no additional cost.    

(L-R) Drs. Kyle Pearson ASPS Resident Liaison, Brandon Gumbiner Treasurer, ASPS; Patrick Burns ASPS board member, Steven Palmer, Vice Chair; David Yeager, Chair ASPS, and Andrew Bellis board member ASPS.

“The quality of educational material is indicative of the ASPS membership. We have some of the most highly-skilled surgeons within our membership, and we strive to provide them with education that is on-par with their skill level. On the other hand, the education we provide members is as top-notch as it is because it comes from within our membership, since they’re the ones who provide our lectures. Collaborating with UPMC only emphasized that,” said ASPS Education Committee Chair and Course Director for the Inaugural ASPS Surgical Conference, Stephen Palmer, DPM.
