Orthopaedics Symposium Planned for Oct. 30

Primary Care Physicians, Chiropractors, Therapists Are Invited

The physicians of the Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies are hosting and presenting a one-day educational symposium on Saturday, October 30, at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center in Loveland, CO.

Presentations and updates on various aspects of orthopaedic care for primary care physician offices, chiropractors, and therapists will be covered at the symposium. Application has been made for a grant of CME credits. This year's event is expected to provide 4.5 to 5.0 hours of learning opportunity. At the 2009 event, 1 hour of CME credit was given for every 1 hour of attendance, up to 4.5 hours CME, depending on the provider's actual attendance.

The symposium is designed for family practice, internal medicine, pediatric, and occupational medicine physicians, nurse practitioners,  physician assistants, therapists, and chiropractors.

Registration materials will be mailed to practitioners in late August. For more information, contact Mr. Armi Hall at OCR, 970-419-7140 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
