Course Highlights
Cedars-Sinai Spine at Cedars Sinai and Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian are again collaborating to offer a reunion spine meeting in beautiful Park City. The meeting will be a joint reunion for the fellows, former fellows, and colleagues of our programs. However, all practicing spine surgeons and fellows are invited to join us! We look forward to connecting with you and your families and anticipate a stimulating scientific program at the 2nd Annual Summer Spine Symposium.
This outstanding meeting will feature:
- A refreshing case-based program

- Relaxed social events enabling us to re-connect with friends.
