Bass Symposium 2025: "Emerging Technologies and Practices in Spine Surgery" (RP2503B)
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The 2025 Bass Symposium - “Emerging Technologies and Practices in Spine Surgery” - will provide spine care clinicians and healthcare teams (neurosurgeons, generalists, physician associates, nurse practitioners, nurses, physical therapists) a review of current clinical and research advancements, particularly noting emerging state-of-the art innovations related to spine surgery issues and spine care. The goal is to foster multidisciplinary spine education in a focused, case-based format designed to review and highlight underlying pathophysiology, relevant anatomy, best practices, and the latest in evidence-based practices for various specific conditions. After attending this symposium, all participants will have enhanced knowledge regarding these innovations to meet the challenges faced in spine surgery care today, and be able to apply this knowledge to their clinical practice.
