Dr. Samuel Schick, a research fellow with the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, recently won a $500 poster award at the Mid-America Orthopaedic Association (MAOA) 2023 Annual Meeting for his poster titled “Physical Therapy Following Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty:  A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Formal Therapy and a Home Physical Therapy Regimen.”

The MAOA is the regional orthopaedic society for orthopaedic surgeons within the 20 central U.S. states. This organization strives to serve its members through educational and fellowship opportunities, as well as providing value-added services throughout the year.

This year’s MAOA 2023 Annual Meeting took place in April in Miramar Beach, Florida. This annual meeting allows orthopaedic faculty to engage and explore subspecialty education through instructional courses, symposia, ask-the-expert sessions, breakout sessions, and posters.
