HSS Alumni… Bridging the Past and the Future of HSS

HSS is transforming. To be better, more agile, and more sustainable. To lead the future of musculoskeletal care. Our Alumni play an important role in this… you are our bridge from the past into the future. The blue bond began with our training at HSS and it perpetually continues as we dedicate ourselves to lifelong learning, teaching, and friendships.

We invite you to join us this November for the 107th HSS Alumni Association Annual Meeting. Our rich tradition of meetings brings us together to honor the past and propels our commitment to the future of HSS. We’ll gather for a full-day CME-accredited educational program. You’ll meet new HSS leadership and thought leaders while reconnecting with the reunion classes of 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015. Agenda highlights include: ACGME resident selection and evaluation, wearable technology and its impact on musculoskeletal health, The Coley Historical Society Lecture, and ten service lines will host specialty breakouts.

A cocktail reception will follow from 6-8 pm at Asia Society New York on Park Avenue.

We can’t wait to see you on November 7.

Register Today, then reach out to a classmate and invite them to join you.

For those who cannot attend in person, livestream is available.
