POS Resident Representatives
In an effort to strengthen resident involvement in Society activities and to increase awareness of the political process, POS maintains a position on its Board of Directors for a resident representative from each program in Pennsylvania. Our goal is to educate and familiarize residents on how legislation effects the practice of orthopedics and to define issues facing young orthopaedists today. This position offers unique leadership training for chosen candidates. Current members include:
- David Braun, MD - Allegheny General Hospital
- Thomas John, MD - Albert Einstein College of Medicine
- Mark Kurd, MD - Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
- Roald Llado, MD - Drexel University College of Medicine
- Michael O'Malley, MD - University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Each year, POS also provides a sponsorship for one of our resident representatives to attend the AAOS National Orthopaedic Leadership Conference. 2008 attendee, Brett Perriccelli had this to say.
Scientific Papers
The POS Program Committee invites all practicing orthopaedic surgeons, residents, and fellows to submit a paper for presentation at both our spring and fall scientific meetings.. Residents should note that there is a competition for the top paper at each meeting.
