2011 Spine Summit
The 7th Annual Evidence and Technology Spine Summit, held in early February 2011 in Park City, Utah, with a faculty of 43 presenters and attendance of over 200 medical participants and well in excess of 50 medical industry participants. The conference was once again rated a highly successful event by its audience of international attendees.
Our experienced staff, high rate of returning physicians and great addition of first time attendees creates a smoothly run and highly energized exchange of experience and ideas, stimulated by a format that encourages debate and interaction in a relaxed and informal setting. Support for our 7th Annual Spine summit came from registration fees and exhibit files, as well as educational grants received from the healthcare industry. Those companies who generously contributed grant support are NuVasive, Inc., DePuy Spine, a Johnson & Johnson Company; Zimmer Spine; Stryker Spine; Synthes Spine; VertiFlex; and Baxano, Inc.
In addition to RMEC, the 7th Annual Evidence and Technology Spine Summit was co-sponsored by Medical Education Resources, Inc. (MER)(ww.mer.org) and Mercy Regional Medical Center (www.mercydurango.org) and Mercy Health Foundation (www.mhffnd.org). Our collaboration with Medical Education Research (MER) a non-profit organization exempt under section 501c3 of the IRS Code, allowed us to designate CME credits to our faculty and attendees through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
