Course Description

The Selby Spine group grew out of the Keystone Meetings that began in Keystone, Colorado in 1986. David Selby, M.D. was the prime mover behind these meetings. After the death of Dr. Selby in 1997, the conference attendees determined it a fitting tribute to continue the meetings, and rename them in honor of Dr. Selby's life and achievements. The Selby Spine Group has met each year since 1999.

The Selby Spine Conference is as an annual spine meeting started by David Selby, MD and others over 16 years ago. Using an open discussion format, the course is designed to provide the spine specialist with state of the art information regarding spinal disorders.
