The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons provides a unique opportunity allowing orthopaedic societies, and other orthopaedic education providers, a cost-effective way to participate in the Joint Providership of its educational offerings. In doing so, orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals can participate in the highest quality educational activities and receive AMA PRA Category 1 CME credit for their participation.

In offering this joint providership opportunity, the Academy’s goal is to ensure that educational programs designed for orthopaedic surgeons meet the criteria of the accreditation requirements of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
