AAOS Resident Assembly The primary purpose of the Resident Assembly is to serve as an advisory body to the AAOS on issues of importance to orthopaedic residents. The Resident Assembly was designed as a forum to allow orthopaedic residents to embrace their roles as patient advocates and life-long learners. With the creation of the RA, residents enjoy an unprecedented amount of opportunities to get involved and participate in the AAOS.

AAOS Resident Assembly The Resident Assembly is made up of a Chair and Vice Chair, Executive Committee, Nominating Committee, Resident Delegates, and five committees: Education Research Career Development Health Policy Technology/Innovation Each committee will meet at Annual Meeting on Friday morning Each program can select a Resident Delegate to represent their respective residency program, vote on important issues, and acquire information from the RA relevant to their respective residency program.
