President’s Symposium

New at NASS 2024, Experience the special President’s Symposium featuring leaders in spine, including representatives from key federal agencies, discussing today’s most pressing issue in health care. The symposium is designed to help spine professionals understand strategic goals and programs that can better serve spine research needs, improve reimbursement systems and improve outcomes for spine patients.

“The current post-pandemic health care landscape has changed dramatically, with shifts in consumer behavior and significant challenges in the health care ecosystem requiring key stakeholders to address the growing demand for affordable, accessible and high-quality care. This symposium will bring together leaders in health care and spine to present current resources and programs available to address these challenges, as well as ongoing efforts to collaborate for a shared vision for the future that embraces emerging technologies and innovation for an ever-evolving health care system.”
