PAM WHITEHEAD
EDUCATION FUND
Over 20 years ago, Pam Whitehead, with the support of DonJoy Orthopedics, was instrumental in inviting a group of fellowship trained, female Orthopedic Surgeons to an inaugural meeting in San Diego. This group evolved into the organization we now call The Forum – which provides a unique “forum” for scientific discussion and support among women orthopedic sports medicine surgeons.
