Winter Meeting February 4-6, 2010
Educational Seminar For Podiatric Surgeons Copper Mountain Colorado
The Highlands Foot and Ankle Institute will be hosting its third educational seminar in the Rocky Mountains. The meeting will bring a number of graduates of the Highlands Residency program together to participate in an educational forum. We expect the 2010 meeting will exceed our expectations.
Net proceeds from the conference will be used to fund the operation of the Highlands Foot and Ankle Institute and aid in offsetting expenses related to maintaining non profit status. The Institute will exist to foster continuing education through a multimedia and multidisciplinary approach to advance the training of podiatric surgeons while maintaining a focus on quality and safe patient care.
