2023 Annual Meeting Info

The 2023 Sierra Spine Society Winter Spine Symposium will be held March 3-5 in Mammoth Lakes, CA. This is our 5th annual symposium. Bring the family for an unforgettable weekend in Mammoth.

Dr. Michael Dorsi is the symposium's course director. 

Dr. Duncan McBride will be the 2023 Wes Hsu Keynote Speaker.  

Our goal is to improve the fund of knowledge and increase competence in managing patients with spinal disorders. This comprehensive course is open to spine surgeons, pain management specialists, and will include case-based discussions focused on care for spine patients.

We come together to cross specialty and corporate boundaries and form new relationships to improve the care we can provide for patients. This is an open forum that encourages discussion focused on current options and emerging technologies for the management of patients with spinal pathology.
