One of the most rewarding things that I do is my time volunteering with the @ABOSortho !
As the new year gets underway, we encourage our ABOS Diplomates to volunteer with us this year! We have many areas where you can serve and give back to the orthopaedic community. If you are interested, please complete the Volunteer section on your ABOS Dashboard.

Had a great time on the @ABOSortho question writing task force. It was my first time writing questions for the @ABMSCert certification. Saw @marykmulcaheymd at the meeting in #DURHAM. Great time. Shot out to the #rochester mafia @urmc_ortho residents.
