ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
After completing his fellowship, Amer Samdani, M.D., joined the staff at Shriners Children’s Philadelphia in 2005. He specialises in the care of children with spine issues and is passionate about finding innovative ways to improve care. Fusionless strategies to treat children, such as vertebral body tethering, have been a major focus of his clinical work.
