In addition to early career leadership opportunities, including being selected to participate in the 2012 AAMC Early Career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminar, Dr. Bisson has been elected by UUMG to participate in both the University of Utah and the Intermountain Healthcare Leadership courses. Most recently, Dr. Bisson was also elected to serve a 2 year term as the President of the University of Utah Medical Board.
Dr. Erica Bisson specializes in complex spine surgery with a focus on cervical disease (neck pain) , utilizing both novel artificial disc and fusion technology. She also treats patients with spinal cord injury, spine trauma, and degenerative spinal conditions (neck and back pain). Dr. Bisson’s professional interests include occipitocervical disease, cervical degenerative disorders, advanced spinal fusion techniques, and image-guided surgery. In her free time, Dr. Bisson enjoys outdoor recreation with her family. She is currently welcoming new patients, and accepts most insurance plans.
