Primary Care Update: Pharmacology, Office Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

Jun 21, 2024 – Jun 23, 2024

Hawaii – Oahu North Shore - Turtle Bay Resort

Located on the North Shore of Oahu, the unequivocal surf capital of the world, Turtle Bay Resort is conveniently located near legendary surf breaks Pipeline, Sunset Beach and the big wave mecca that is Waimea Bay. A fifteen-minute drive north takes you to Historic Haleiwa, which provides eclectic shopping and dining. The North Shore is as authentic as they come, a true standout among island destinations anywhere in the world. Blessed with a setting few places can lay claim to: a coastline that has the most powerful waves in the world, idyllic bays for swimming and snorkeling, and miles of pristine beaches lined with swaying palms. Paddling out at sunrise for a dawn patrol surf session, snapping a photo of a honu, the green sea turtles, while snorkeling, launching off “Jump Rock” at Waimea Bay, or discovering deserted white sand beaches trekking up to Ka’ena Point, this area never ceases to amaze.
