The Residents and Fellows Session was once again a success with a total of 12 papers presented by residents and fellows. This session continues to be a valuable addition to the Annual Meeting.

Overall, 92% of participants felt the techniques they learned would positively affect their daily practice.
The Academy also provided a well known Keynote Speaker, Dr. Eric Heiden, five-time Olympic gold medalist in speed skating in 1980.
