Join us for the 2026 Frank P. Cammisa Jr., MD, HSS Spine Symposium to be held on June 12, 2026 at Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY. This half-day symposium will convene thought leaders in spine surgery, digital health, hospital administration, and technology strategy to examine the current state and future trajectory of AI in spine care. Through keynote perspectives, expert panels, and multidisciplinary discussion, participants will explore real-world applications of AI, ethical considerations, financial and operational impacts, and the role of emerging technologies in improving patient outcomes.
The program is designed to foster dialogue, share practical insights, and equip clinicians and healthcare stakeholders with the knowledge needed to responsibly and effectively integrate AI into spine surgery practice.
This course is named in honor of Frank P. Cammisa Jr., MD, Chief Emeritus of HSS Spine at Hospital for Special Surgery and Professor of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Cammisa specializes in the surgical treatment of spinal disorders. Over the past three decades at HSS, Dr. Cammisa has dedicated his career to research, education, and innovation to drive outstanding patient care. He has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles, educated more than 120 clinical fellows, and been a leader in bringing new technologies to spine surgery. His clinical areas of expertise include minimally invasive spinal surgery, robotic-assisted spinal surgery, and motion-preserving procedures.
This activity is targeted to orthopaedic spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, musculoskeletal radiologists, digital health leaders, hospital administrators, healthcare innovation professionals, and researchers in AI and surgical technology. Residents, fellows, and medical students may also benefit from this activity.
