Messaging – Telling the Orthopaedic Story
- PR campaign regarding how to determine quality.
- Targets: employers and patients.
- UT Dell’s residency program would like to participate (third year resident project).
Texas Orthopaedic Residents
- Some programs want another MS-4 Zoom with TOA. (Other programs don’t want one.)
- TOA “Resident Assembly” – Do we have TOA members who would like to do Zooms to talk to residents about their futures and the business of orthopaedics? (There is an interest.)
- We created TOA’s resident database for future career opportunities. If you are thinking about hiring soon, please engage the residents who posted their future career plans.
Future TOA Conferences
- AT&T Conference Center has agreed to eliminate TOA’s February 2021 meeting in exchange for TOA booking April 2022. TOA will sign that contract soon.
- TOA will wait to watch the pandemic. Once things appear to be “clear,” TOA will book a low-risk, scaled-back meeting at a resort such as Horseshoe Bay in summer/fall 2021. If only a few dozen attend, then it will be a success.
- To account for a lack of sponsor support in 2021, TOA will create a “Circle of Champions” that will support TOA whether there is a meeting or no meeting. See slides for details.
