  • Assist the public, the medical profession and other interested parties in their desire to identify competent and well trained spine surgeons.
  • Enhance the quality of future spine surgery.
  • Enhance the quality of “expert” testimony presently being provided in regard to surgical treatment.

They set rigorous educational standards, enhance surgical dialogue, and promote effective treatment protocols, ensuring well-trained, competent spine surgeons for the public and medical profession.
