You can learn more about the program at https://www.ors.org/cscdp/.

Orthopaedic residents in their PGY2-PGY5 years, surgeons in fellowships, and junior faculty (through year three) who have the potential and desire to become orthopaedic clinician scholars. To be eligible for NASS sponsorship, applicants must indicate NASS membership on the application.

When and where will it take place? September 21-23, 2023 in Rosemont, Illinois. 

What does sponsorship cover? The participant sponsorship will cover the costs related to the 2023 CSCDP including two nights hotel, round-trip economy airfare, ground transportation and all meals during the dates/times of the program.
