- At the 2018 Orthopaedic Reserach Society (ORS) Meeting in New Orleans, Dr. Woo was honored as a member of the Inaugural Class of ORS fellows. The ORS Fellows Program recognizes individuals who have demonstrated service and leadership, substantial achievement, expert knowledge, and significant contributions to the field of musculoskeletal research and the ORS. Fellows represent the ORS as the thought leaders and topic experts in their respective disciplines. Fellows will also serve as role models in the ORS membership community and in the field of musculoskeletal research.
