Join us for an immersive, one-day, multidisciplinary symposium designed to advance the knowledge and clinical skills of spine surgeons, neurologists, and interventional pain physicians. This year’s format will feature a dynamic series of small panel discussions centered around real-world case presentations, followed by brief, focused topic presentations by panelists. With 7–8 concise sessions, this structure encourages rich dialogue, practical insights, and collaborative learning—mirroring the multi-disciplinary collaboration at the Hoag Spine Institute.

The symposium fosters cross-specialty collaboration and a team-based approach to optimizing patient outcomes.
