53rd Annual Meeting & 30th Instructional Course

CSRS hosts two back-to-back meetings at the end of each year. This year, the meetings are at The Westin DC Downtown in our Nation’s Capital.

The CSRS 30^th Instructional Course kicks off Wednesday morning, December 3 and runs as an all-day program. Each session will build on foundational principles, treatment, up to controversies and new developments on the topic. The goal of the Instructional Course is to lay a foundation for the advanced topics that will be discussed during the Annual Meeting with an emphasis on case presentations and discussion. The continued building and progression of each session ensures that the Instructional Course is valuable to both the surgeon in training and the field expert.

The CSRS 53^rd Annual Meeting gathers approximately 600 leading orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians, residents, fellows, allied health, medical students, engineers and corporate personnel. The meeting promotes high quality meaningful research, discussion, and exchange of ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of cervical spine injury and disease. The Annual Meeting starts Wednesday evening with a two-hour session to kick off the meeting and runs through Saturday late morning. The program boasts 5-minute and 2-minute abstract sessions, three carefully curated symposia, a Henry H. Bohlman Presidential Guest Speaker, an exhibit hall and industry lunch workshops. The Annual Meeting hosts breakfasts, coffee breaks, and an evening reception to network with your cervical spine colleagues.
