The annual Michigan Hand Surgery Visiting Professor was established to allow for the exchange of ideas between leaders in the field of hand surgery. Each year our visiting professor provides insightful lectures and case presentations to further discuss techniques and innovations in hand surgery. Our visiting professors are renowned experts in the field and are carefully selected each year as we continue to enhance the educational experience for our residents and guests. Agendas are customized each year with the opportunity for multiple lectures, including our day-long feature event.
