Pops Logo



Welcome to our new and improved website. We have added the capability to apply for new membership and/or renew your membership on line. We are also pleased to reveal our new POPS logo. The POPS logo was redesigned to reflect our nationally recognized professional society which is committed to the treatment of children with orthopaedic conditions.

We are striving to expand our society by extending membership throughout North America, including Canada for pediatric orthopedic advance practice nurses and physician assistants. A future goal is to incorporate other international members. POPS continues to promote pediatric orthopaedic education for its members and we are currently exploring future fellowship opportunities. I would like to personally challenge every member to promote our organization within their work group and their peers. We encourage you to become an active part of our organization and inviting your colleagues to join POPS.

Our next POPS annual meeting will be in Montreal, Canada May 11, 2011, held in conjunction with the POSNA meeting. Mark your calendars in advance to attend and be a part of our exciting national conference in pediatric orthopedics.

We look forward to having you become part of our society. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
