Why Should I Join? 

Government Relations 
One of the primary purposes of the Arizona Orthopaedic Society (AOS) is to represent the interests of its members before government.  Arizona representation provides the presence necessary to influence federal and state legislation and regulators. 

National Orthopaedic Leadership Conference
The AOS covers travel and expenses to members attending this yearly conference held every spring in Washington, DC.  Arizona orthopaedists are afforded the opportunity to participate in national policy making at a grassroots level.

ICA Committee 
In 1996, an Industrial Commission Committee was created to provide orthopaedic representation to the Industrial Commission of Arizona for review and recommendation of proposed changes in reimbursement levels.

Educational Opportunities 
The society holds an annual scientific meeting that offers continuing medical education to our members at a reduced rate.  Our next meeting will be on September 18-20, 2015 at the beautiful Hilton Sedona Resort & Spa in Sedona, AZ.  

Third Party Payor Relations 
A member of the AOS sits on the Medicare Carrier Advisory Committee, which addresses issues relating to Medicare and other third-party-payor matters.

American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 
The society is represented by two councilors to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.  The AAOS councilors communicate the needs and interests of local members and affect national orthopaedic care policy.

Committee Involvement 
AOS members are invited and encouraged to participate in the society committee structure.  Committee involvement provides direct experience with issues that determine the overall success of the society.

Professional Camaraderie 
Perhaps the greatest benefit of society membership is the professional sharing at meetings and other functions.
