This year as part of day two of the 4-day Orthopedics Today Hawaii 2013 course, we will co-chair the Shoulder program. We are pleased to welcome back to the faculty Evan L. Flatow, MD, and Anthony A. Romeo, MD, two internationally celebrated shoulder surgeons. The faculty will present a nice mix of didactic talks and lively interactive case-based discussions and encourage the audience to bring challenging cases with them to Hawaii.
The sessions on shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears and fracture management are just some of the exciting topics that will be discussed during the program. The faculty will also introduce a new “top 5” talk in each group to highlight the pearls and pitfalls for orthopedic surgeons. The faculty will continue to use the audience response system throughout the program to gauge what attendees are doing and how they may be similar, different or stimulated by new thinking.

The Practice Management session on Monday afternoon will be moderated by Jack M. Bert, MD. The session will feature discussions on the benefits and disadvantages of being a hospital-employed physician or in private practice. Health care attorney David M. Glaser, JD, will discuss how to prepare for audits and some basic issues on compliance. Additionally, in continuing an Orthopedics Today Hawaii tradition, attendees and faculty also will meet for a Banyan Tree Session. This is an opportunity for attendess to get one-on-one interaction with the faculty members about their presentations or to seek advice on challenging cases from their own experience.
