NPSA ANNUAL MEETING 2021 November 12-13 |
OVERVIEW - 2021 MEETING
WooHoo! Dr. Fauci predicts that by mid Fall enough of the population will be vaccinated and we will have herd immunity so that we can gather indoors! This means that the Portland Caucus of the North Pacific Surgical will be able to kick off the return of in person meetings. We are slated to hold our meeting at The Nines Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon on November 12-13, 2021.
We will convene with our top-notch scientific sessions and kick the first night off with a “ murder mystery” dinner. We know you will be intrigued and engaged in figuring out who did it! The Presidents Banquet will host entertainment that should be spectacular, and we’ll get some dancing in (work off those COVID no gym open pounds). We will be one of the first Surgical Associations to be able to host a return to in person meetings. Although we have had amazing virtual educational offering, the opportunity to share camaraderie and to gather is something we are all missing.
To that end, we hope you will come out and support our meeting. It will be one of the first opportunities for you to meet in person with surgeons from all over the Northwest and Canada. There is something to be said for the personal touch. We plan to offer virtual options for those unable to travel but the in-person offerings will be so enticing that we are feeling good about the attendance. One of the hallmarks of our association has been not only the quality of the scientific presentation but the collegiality of the members.
North Pacific Surgical Association is the oldest Surgical Association west of the Mississippi, founded in 1912. We have a membership of over 150 surgeons and more recently candidate resident members. Our caucuses are in Portland, Vancouver, BC, Victoria/Alberta BC, Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane/Idaho. General Surgeons are our primary audience, but we also have a strong showing from trauma, oncology, pediatrics and endocrine surgeons.
Thank you in advance for your support and look forward to seeing you in the Fall 2021!
