At AAOS, we embrace the importance of responding to change in creative ways and generating new ideas. Innovative solutions and programs are essential to support continued growth and learning throughout our orthopaedic community. We offer participation in these programs to our industry and corporate partners who want something more than our conventional outreach opportunities. Therefore, we highly encourage you to reach out to our Business Development Representatives to see what innovated ideas you might have that can become part of our innovation success! Bring us your ideas, or participate in one of our current programs!
