The mission of The Georgia Orthopaedic Society is to provide pertinent, quality continuing medical education for practicing orthopaedic surgeons. The annual meeting and other educational meetings of our society strive to do so by affording an opportunity for orthopaedists throughout the state to exchange ideas regarding patient care. This is done through formal and informal discussions relevant to orthopaedic issues, and through scientific presentations by orthopaedists with pertinent clinical or research expertise.
