Submission and attendance are open to members and non-members of the Society and abstracts may be submitted on any topic related to the treatment of spinal disorders.
Now in its 18th year, the Korean American Spine Society (KASS) gathers spine surgeons in a collegial and educational Annual Meeting. Their members are primarily Korean Americans, both orthopedic and neurological spine surgeons. All are welcome at the Annual Meeting, which combines in-depth CME education from leaders in the field and honest conversation about clinical cases and complications. The Annual Meeting also provides a time for colleagues and families to connect over meals, activities, a Welcome Reception, and the Annual Dinner, which features a general interest speaker sharing their perspective of the Korean American experience.
Tom Cha, MD, MBA (Massachusetts General Hospital) serves as President and Raymond Hah, MD (Keck Medicine of USC) and Daniel Kang, MD (Madigan Army Medical Center) serve as Program Chairs for 2023. Meeting registration, abstract submission, and hotel reservations are open now at kassmd.org. For questions, contact Val Broyles.
