Colleagues, The Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health and IMPACT (NSF grant we hope to get) are organizing a conference about improving musculoskeletal health (see attached). The program covers a number of cross-disciplinary areas, including cancer, orthopedics, neurological surgery, neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, anesthesiology, and PM&R as main areas. Trainees (fellows/residents/med students etc) have reduced pricing and anyone can submit an abstract for an oral presentation opportunity and everyone can present a poster if they like with cash prizes for the top abstracts and poster presentations. The ICMH will provide $100 toward registration (early bird trainee is just $250 - so only $150) for any ICMH trainees. There is also a Gala at the Columbia Club on Friday night and guests can be registered. Hope you will consider attending, having your trainees attend (note good to have a local, yet international conference on CV).
