We are pleased to inform you that the Twenty-Fourth Annual Graduate Orthodontic Residents Program (GORP) will be held on August 2-5, 2012. We are excited to announce that for the first time, we will hold a welcome reception at the University of Michigan Stadium on August 2nd, 2012. Please plan your schedules accordingly to arrive early for this wonderful event. Once again we are inviting all of the orthodontic residents from the United States and Canada to attend this meeting, which will be held this year in Ann Arbor on the University of Michigan Campus.
GORP began in 1989 as a means of bringing the orthodontists of the future together for a summer meeting, creating an environment to foster professional growth and interpersonal relationships among colleagues and representatives of orthodontic manufacturers. During the past 21 years, the meeting has grown to an event that involves over 400 orthodontic residents from the United States and Canada. The meeting is held every other year at the University of Michigan, with the alternate years at other institutions. Past meetings have been held at Harvard University, the University of Texas at Houston, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Ohio State University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Kentucky, the University of North Carolina, the University of Washington, the University of Minnesota and Saint Louis University
This program is unique in that it is the first meeting to bring together residents in a dental or medical specialty program. The meeting is sponsored by donations from orthodontic exhibitors and by the American Association of Orthodontics and its constituent associations and American Association of Orthodontists Foundation.
The residents of the University of Michigan look forward to hosting another excellent GORP, and we hope to see as many of you as possible.
If you have any questions, please see the contacts link for contact information, and please to do not hesitate to contact us.
We look forward to seeing you in Ann Arbor.
Best Regards, Aaron Havens, GORP 2012 Chair havensa@umich.edu
