32. Jee WSS. Hard Tissue Workshops organized annually since 1965 by Prof. Jee provided a uniquely seminal, multidisciplinary forum for presenting and discussing new methods, evidence and ideas about human skeletal disorders. The University of Utah sponsored them and hundreds of international authorities and fellows in many disciplines attended them. They probably affected how people think about and study skeletal physiology and disorders more than any other meetings in this century. The Utah paradigm had its genesis at these Workshops; hence its name.
