MOS PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

Greetings MOS Membership

I am humbled and grateful to serve as president of our prestigious society for this upcoming year. I am excited for all that we have accomplished previously, and I hope to achieve more over the next twelve months. The challenges in delivering modern healthcare are everywhere, but by working together, I believe we can be the leaders Michigan citizens expect for high quality, compassionate orthopedic care. 

This year I hope to continue our proud tradition of education and leadership by engaging our membership with high quality meetings and educational opportunities. I expect to continue our Winter Meeting in January and our Annual Scientific Meeting in June. Our slate of meetings has exceptional incoming speakers as well as gorgeous venues for us to come together and share in fellowship and education. Please open your emails from the MOS or come to this website frequently for updates. 

As many of you know, it remains extremely important for us to continue to engage politically regardless of the election cycle. Our voices must remain heard by those elected to office. I invite you to share your concerns and allow us to utilize our PAC funding strategically to ensure our mission and values are understood. Please consider donating to the MOS-PAC as the best way to assist our efforts in Lansing.

I am thankful to all our physicians for your continued support and membership in this society. It helps make us stronger and one of the top state societies in the country. This year, I will work to continue engaging all of our allopathic and osteopathic colleagues to help us grow across the great state of Michigan.

I am proud to lead this group in 2023-24 and enthusiastic about what we can accomplish. I look forward to getting to know all of you better over the next 12 months. Please let me know if I can be of help to you in any way in my role as president.

Michael Mott, MD
