Basic Science, Clinical, and Translation Research of the Meniscus: Recent Advances
Wednesday, September 27, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Central Time
In our continued efforts to expand the science of meniscus research globally, we are planning several events for the upcoming year starting with a Virtual Scientific Session (VSS). The upcoming VSS will highlight recent advancements in basic science, clinical, and translation meniscus research while providing a platform for trainees, early career, and established researchers to present their exciting research to their peers in the field and the meniscus community worldwide. This seminar will be very helpful for them to expand their scope of establishing new collaborations on the path forward in their careers. Additionally, the audience will gain insight on the groundbreaking research of these extraordinary researchers by registering now.

Ball & Socket Breakdown: A Beginner’s Guide to Hip and Shoulder Arthroplasty – An Interactive Q&A Session with Surgeons
Wednesday, October 18, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Central Time
Join us for an immersive hour-long session that kickstarts our new series of virtual sessions, designed to empower young ORS members with invaluable insights into the world of joint arthroplasty. In this inaugural session, we will dive into the intricacies of hip and shoulder arthroplasty, including surgical techniques, basic reconstructive concepts, implant mechanics, and contemporary surgical challenges.
Throughout the session, two experienced surgeons will take center stage, providing a comprehensive overview of the surgical techniques employed in hip and shoulder arthroplasty. From the foundations to the latest advancements, they will navigate controversies in the field, offering a roadmap to success in these procedures.
Furthermore, our clinicians will delve into the challenges encountered during joint arthroplasty, addressing complications, nuances, and potential pitfalls. Gain valuable knowledge and better understand the problem solving strategies employed by clinicians today. But the excitement doesn’t end there! Engage directly with our experts during the interactive “Ask Me Anything” session. This is your chance to ask questions related to your interests, and benefit from the firsthand experiences and wisdom of our esteemed surgeons.
Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to elevate your understanding of joint arthroplasty. Join us for a dynamic virtual symposium session that sets the stage for an interactive new series dedicated to understanding contemporary orthopaedic surgical interventions.

Navigating the NIH Diversity Supplement: Tips and Tricks for a Successful Application from Program Officers and Prior Awardees
Wednesday, October 25, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Central Time
The NIH Diversity Supplement program aims to enhance the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting students, post doctorates, and eligible faculty investigators from historically marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds, including those from groups that have been shown to be nationally underrepresented in health-related research. The goal of this virtual session is to make the Diversity Supplement program more accessible to ORS members and their trainees by providing knowledge about the application process. We will provide information on the eligibility, application content, and submission/evaluation process for diversity supplements at various career stages submitted to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). We will also discuss the Diversity Supplement Scholars Program (NIAMS) and learn from ORS members who either received a diversity supplement for a trainee or as a faculty investigator.
