Abdul, Hardy and Woodbeck 2004 Honors Society Inductees

At the 18th Annual Clinical Symposium in Miami, the NAOT Honors Society was created. The society is dedicated to those who have been instrumental in NAOT’s formation and philosophies, and those committed to recognizing the orthopaedic technology profession. Through careful consideration, individuals are chosen to be recognized at the Annual Symposium. This year, NAOT will recognize the newest members of the Honor Society at the Closing Banquet, Saturday, August 7, 2004.
