This lecture has been made possible by a generous gift from the Hunter family to the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery in memory of Dr. Hunter, a long-time member of our faculty at Sunnybrook Hospital. Dr. Hunter was known as an outstanding clinician and teacher and served as a mentor to many of our current faculty members in the Division.

This year the lecture will be given by Dr. Lawrence Malisano from Brisbane, Australia. He will present a talk titled “Experience – The hidden, unappreciated values”.
