The NASS Annual Meeting attracts an international audience by offering symposia featuring world renowned experts speaking on surgical, medical and interventional care; paper presentations announcing results of research on new techniques, treatments, devices and more; special interest group discussions; a technical exhibit hall; premeeting courses and technique workshops; specialty tracks for non-physician providers and other learning opportunities.

NASS is among a small percentage of CME providers to hold the prestigious “Accreditation with Commendation” designation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical

Building on this success, NASS opened a new, state-of-the-art Spine Masters Institute outside Chicago that houses the NASS headquarters, a 10 station bioskills lab, classroom and multimedia center with videoconferencing and webcasting capabilities.
