Regulatory Advocacy

The AAOS Office of Government Relations Regulatory Team would love to hear from you!

Though less visible than negotiations and headlines from Capitol Hill, the policy decisions which impact the day-to-day practice of orthopaedic surgery often come in the form of rulemaking by agencies and entities beyond the scope of elected officials.

Share your feedback and comments with AAOS by emailing dc@aaos.org on the following by August 18, 2023.
