Charting impact

AOSSM aims to ensure that athletes and people of all ages and abilities can enjoy active, productive lives. We strive to provide resources that enable orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons to facilitate world leading, evidence-based diagnoses and treatments which guide a safe return to physical activity.
Goal: Orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons learn and apply evidence-based care to the needs of athletes and people pursuing active lifestyles.

Education strategies include customized content, integrated education pathways, environmental monitoring and beneficial partnerships and engaged, diverse educators.

Research strategies include supporting multi-center research, research career support, communication and partnerships and diverse funding.

We have strong leadership from volunteers and staff. Volunteers are committed to the Society's success and engaged in planning.
