Welcome Shoulder and Elbow Colleagues!

On behalf of the outstanding Rocky Mountain Shoulder and Elbow Society (RMSES) course directors and planning committee, we welcome you to the 2025 RMSES conference in beautiful Avon, CO In 2023 we successfully revived the conference that has such a great history.
