OHSU Orthopaedics celebrates the legacy of Dr. Rodney K. Beals by inviting a visiting professor of that year’s chosen sub-specialty to share their expertise with the Oregon Ortho community, as well as showcase the research of our graduating Chief Residents. The program for the recording is as follows (note that each presentation is followed by a brief Q/A session with the speaker). Entire program is in English; captions provided in each recording. This year we held a poster session to celebrate participating in OHSU research week.
