You are entering webpages belonging to the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, which includes information and resources for Association advocacy efforts and the Political Action Committee of The American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (OrthoPAC).
Grassroots advocacy is a powerful tool for strengthening the voice of the orthopaedic community on critical health policy issues. In coordination with traditional advocacy efforts led by the AAOS Office of Government Relations, it ensures that your concerns and the interests of your patients are heard by lawmakers at the federal, state and regulatory level.
Together we can help shape the political landscape for the betterment of musculoskeletal care!
Advancing Musculoskeletal Care in 2025
We're in the process of completely revamping how members can engage with advocacy with a redesigned Advocacy Action Center and new, easy-to-use tools that make it simpler than ever to advocate for your profession.
Please bear with us while some pages and features are still under construction, and stay tuned for more updates from the Office of Government Relations.
For now, here's a preview of what we have planned:
- A single, integrated Advocacy portal where members can access all their advocacy activities, from donating to the PAC and engaging with members of Congress, to sharing information for lobbying teams to bring with them to Capitol Hill.
- A redesigned, more user-friendly tool for taking action – whether it’s sending letters to representatives, engaging with lawmakers on social media, attending political fundraisers or sharing stories about how health care policy is impacting orthopaedic practices.
- The ability for members to track advocacy activities, benchmark against peers and receive recognition as they rise up the new advocacy leaderboard.
- More accessible information about where members of congress stand on the issues that impact the orthopaedic community.
