									A Unique Program Agenda 
								Dear Colleagues, 
								 
								The 2016 Annual I.M.S. Meeting is fast approaching! This year’s not-to-miss conference will address controversies and new updates on cutting-edge techniques in shoulder surgery. Vigorous round table discussion and hands on cadaveric workshops will discuss and demonstrate the latest on tendon transfers and reverse arthroplasty, among other shoulder workshops such as rotator cuff repair etc. 
								 
								If you have other interests, you will have the choice to move from one conference room to another to attend different lectures in not one, but three different specialties with simultaneous programs on pain management and Orthopedic related problems:  
								
									- 
										Orthopedics, including sports injuries, fractures, and joint replacement
 
									- 
										Pain & Rehabilitation Medicine
 
									- 
										Spine Surgery
 
								 
								 
								The 2016 Meeting will feature both didactic sessions that are CME accredited and hands-on cadaveric workshops that are not CME accredited. We're very pleased to be active members of this unique event. 
								 
								For the complete program agenda by specialty track, please visit each of the track areas on our website. 
								 
								Click here to register for the meeting and workshops. 
								 
								 
								We look forward to seeing you in Beirut this July!  
								 
								Sincerely,
