Frederick N. Meyer, M.D.

Keynote Lectureship

The Frederick N. Meyer, M.D., Keynote Lectureship was established by vote of the ARCOS Membership in 2005 to honor Dr. Meyer’s support and encouragement of ARCOS. The phenomenal progress and success of ARCOS is directly related to Dr. Meyer’s challenge for a handful of Orthopaedic Surgery Coordinators to move forward and form a specialty association exclusively for Orthopaedic Surgery Coordinators. From the beginning, Dr. Meyer envisioned the role of Residency and Fellowship Coordinators as that of a resourceful, effective and valuable member of the Program Director’s team, and he encouraged us to view our role in the same manner.
