AAOS is excited to announce the official launch of a new professional development–focused podcast. Produced by the AAOS Resident Assembly, the “AAOS Career Podcast” will join AAOS’ advocacy-focused podcast under the umbrella name “The Bone Beat Orthopaedic Podcast Channel.” The new podcast will join the Academy’s monthly “JAAOS Unplugged ®” podcast series. In creating these shows in partnership with surgeon leaders, AAOS looks forward to facilitating engaging conversations on its rapidly growing platform. Whether members become avid followers of a single show or listen to an occasional episode on the channel, AAOS hopes they will enjoy the podcasts and walk away having learned something new.

“AAOS Career Podcast,” launched August 2021 by the AAOS Resident Assembly

“AAOS Career Podcast” covers professional development topics of interest to the musculoskeletal community, from financial literacy and research opportunities to surgical skills and networking. Conversations between early-career surgeons and experienced attendings offer practical tools for guided growth in the specialty.

The original idea for the podcast was submitted as a Resident Assembly Advisory Opinion and approved by the Resident Assembly Executive Committee, the Resident Assembly body, and the Membership Council. In addition to providing practical advice for professional development, the show will serve as a forum for sharing personal stories from senior leaders within orthopaedics.
