Surgical Specialty Groups
Peer review of research ideas takes place at sub specialty group meetings. Sports, shoulder, hand, spine, and trauma groups meet regularly to discuss research ideas and ongoing projects in their respective areas. These meetings are attended by faculty, residents, and research staff. If you would like to attend an upcoming SSG meeting, please contact the appropriate meeting organizer.
