We are excited to welcome you to the 2025 AOA QLD Trifecta Event: AOA Registrar Papers Day, QDOG PHO Development Day, and QORF Collaborative MSK Research Meeting.
On Friday 4 April, the Queensland Director of Orthopaedics Group (QDOG) PHO Development and AOA Registrar Papers Day will include a series of lectures relating to all aspects of clinical practice, topical issues, workforce, career pathways, and doctor wellbeing. This exciting new combined event will enable networking and collaboration between orthopaedic PHOs from QLD metropolitan and regional sites and provide an opportunity to support their colleagues as they present their latest research.
The theme for the program on Saturday 5 April is ‘The Future of MSK Trauma Research’ with sessions highlighting compensable musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation, technology in trauma care, and trauma prevalence and prevention.
Abstracts for both events are now open and close on Monday 10 February; early submissions are encouraged. For the QORF meeting, the convenors welcome proposals for presentations and posters from all MSK researchers in Queensland. Abstracts that support the meeting theme and/or include new data or results will be prioritised for a podium presentation, with the remainder to be selected for e-poster presentation.
Please share this event with your research colleagues and help us bring together the MSK research community in Queensland.
We invite you to register and submit abstracts now!
