A course for spine surgeons and corporate leaders that will positively impact your life at work and home.
Bridging the Gap (BTG) is refreshingly different from any meeting in our field, with numerous attendees telling us the meeting is enjoyable, profoundly worthwhile, and even life-changing.
While most meetings focus on research, technology, and techniques, BTG emphasizes the skills that will most significantly benefit us at work and in our personal lives. Our goal is to create an environment where we all learn and grow together.
Please view the course brochure for program topics, housing, and registration information.
We hope you feel inspired to join BTG on this journey!
