Michael Ain, M.D., associate professor and director of the orthopaedic residency program at Johns Hopkins University, will be the guest speaker for a special Children’s Hospital and UNMC event on Oct. 17 at 7 a.m. in the Children’s Hospital Glow Auditorium.
Dr. Ain will present “Spinal deformity surgery in the Achondroplasia Population.”
Dr. Ain, a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, not only treats those with achondroplasia, the most common form of skeletal dysplasia, but also has the condition.
Despite rejections from more than 20 medical schools, he persevered and is now a highly respected surgeon in one of the most rigorous and physically demanding of all surgical professions.
Specializing in disorders of children’s lower extremities, hips, spine, and pediatric and adult skeletal dysplasia, Dr. Ain has a personal understanding of what his patients experience.
Registration is not required. Continuing medical education credits will be offered for the event being sponsored by Stryker Spine. Continental breakfast will be served. For more information, please contact Alex Myers with Stryker Spine at (402) 981-2296, or Linda Kraut at (402) 492-9767.
