Dear Colleague,
The Connecticut Orthopedic Society wishes you
a happy and healthy 2008. Your membership in the Connecticut
Orthopedic Society is the key to influencing and changing the
practice of orthopedic medicine in Connecticut and is instrumental
to our collective, continued success.
Membership in the Connecticut Orthopedic Society provides us with
a strong voice in state and national issues specific to orthopedic
surgeons. This is the ONLY in-state organization that has
as its sole objective, the interests of the orthopedic surgeon. In
2008, your Society will continue to work diligently on your behalf
with the following activities and focus:
- Lobbying – Working with the Society’s
lobbyist, Halloran & Sage, the Society has guaranteed a seat
at the legislative table with upcoming debates and decisions
in Legislative 2008. In addition, we continue to safeguard
the practice of medicine and assist the Society’s members
with presentations at public hearing, bill tracking and meetings
with key legislators. Please consider an additional
contribution to the Society for political activities (*see invoice).
- Scope of Practice and Practice Preservation -
Work to protect the standards of care of emergency room patients
and ensure adequate physician coverage and reimbursement, continue
our representation on Worker’s Compensation to
the Chairman of the Commission and open dialogue with key legislators
to discuss health care coverage for the citizens of Connecticut.
- Coding & Other Programs
for Your Practice -
Offer educational seminars at reduced rates with CEU accreditation. Don’t
miss the Karen Zupko & Associates coding workshop scheduled
for March 13, 2008 at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center. This
workshop will cost members and their staff only $250.00 per attendee – half
the cost of similar programs.
- Annual Meeting & CMEs -
Provide educational opportunities and CME credits at the Society’s
Annual Meeting. This year’s event will be held on
May 16, 2008, at the Farmington Marriott Hotel and will offer
informative clinical sessions from renowned speakers and more. YOU
WON’T WANT TO MISS IT!
- Communicate
and update members using
the Society’s website (www.ctortho.org), “Backbone”,
the Society’s newsletter and email.
