SOARS: Summit-ORS Ambassadors Regional Symposium
What is SOARS?
SOARS is a regional ambassador symposium for the Orthopaedic Research Society. The symposium focuses on sharing research and building local collaborations between researchers and clinicians. SOARS is held in conjunction with the co-located annual Summit hosted by Summit Brain, Spine and Orthopedics, who graciously sponsor the excellent facilities at Sundance Resort for the symposium.
Research
SOARS' poster session is a venue to share your current research with other local researchers and practitioners. Our attending clinicians provide valuable feedback and insights. Attendees enjoy learning about new and upcoming developments making this a dynamic and valuable experience for all.
Innovation
SOARS is also a venue to share research leading to orthopedic-related innovation. Posters can showcase research developing new orthopedic devices or other related innovations that support spine and orthopedic care.
We invite you to Share your research at the 5th Annual SOARS

Our Collaboration
Summit Brain, Spine and Orthopedics
SOARS is co-sponsored by Summit Brain, Spine and Orthopedics, and is held in conjunction with their annual Summit. This connection allows an important overlap between the local clinical and research communities. We appreciate the support and collaboration between the two events and the opportunities for clinicians and researchers to connect.
Orthopaedic Research Society
SOARS is an official regional symposium in connection with the Orthopaedic Research Society. These regional meetings allow researchers in orthopedics to expand opportunities to collaborate with others in their region in a more intimate setting.
