EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Based on the feedback from last year’s Annual Meeting, our plan this year is to allow more time for speakers and discussion.  Abstracts will be accepted from both clinical and basic science research topics. 

We plan to again offer a separate one day session especially for orthopaedic oncology nursing to be held on Friday, November 7, 2008.
