In this rapidly changing health care environment, it's crucial that practitioners and administrators learn as much as possible from each other—and orthopedics is no exception. An upcoming conference aims to provide a platform for just such an exchange and is offering APTA members a discount on registration.

The Interdsciplinary Conference on Orthopedic Value-Based Care, set for January 18-20 in Newport Beach, California, is an event that brings physicians, health care executives, nurses, and physical therapists (PTs) together to learn and share insights on everything from improving patient outcomes to understanding how concepts such as "Medicare for all" could affect individual practice. Sponsored by the American College of Perioperative Medicine, the conference features a long list of leaders in orthopedic care, including APTA Board of Directors member Kip Schick, PT, DPT.

Registration for the conference is open now, with early bird discounts ending November 21. APTA members are eligible for an additional 10% discount—just enter "PERIOP" in the "promotion code" box on the registration form.
