James Iatridis also Chaired the ORS Spine Section Meeting and became 2nd Vice President of the ORS. We enjoyed being part of the Van Mow academic tree during his Shands Award Presentation #VanMow #ORS2017.

In addition to research activities, most of the Orthopaedic Research Lab attendees met at Tom Evashwick-Rogler’s family home for a great barbeque in celebration of a very successful meeting.
