OVERVIEW

The Core PA Annual Study Plan is designed to be an annual daily reading plan aimed at building and maintaining a core foundation of orthopaedic knowledge and staying current with the literature. Because only 1-2 topics are reviewed per day, Monday through Friday, with Saturday and Sunday reserved for rest or catch up, it is designed to encourage healthy, balanced, daily reading.
