Lessons in Saying "No"

James Altucher, entrepreneur and chess master Although saying "no" rarely feels like a great option, many of us forget that it is an option. As orthopaedic surgeons, we are constantly asked to "volunteer" for a committee or to cover an on-call day for a colleague. And because we know that someday we may be asking a colleague to serve with us or to cover our on-call day, we almost always say "yes." Yet the many demands in our lives make it impossible for us to always acquiesce.

ICLs Provide Instruction You Can Use

Instructional Course Lectures (ICLs) at the AAOS Annual Meeting provide expert clinical instruction attendees can take home and put to use. The selections for the 2017 Annual Meeting are expansive, with a vast array of educational offerings and 35.5 continuing medical education (CME) credits available to be earned, said chair of the Central Instructional Courses Committee.
