In 2019, AAOS launched a new 5-year Strategic Plan through 2023, focusing on being the trusted leaders in advancing musculoskeletal health. Since 2019, we have remained singularly focused on serving members and patients by aligning and executing the plan’s key tenets to deliver a more personalized and seamless member experience, advance quality in ways our members can thrive and evolve our culture to be more strategic, innovative, and diverse.
We've updated the Strategic Plan for the next five years as we shape the changes that impact health and our profession and equip AAOS and its members for continued success. Many tenets will be familiar as we transition this year. We will stay focused on our Members to remain your orthopaedic home throughout your lifetime, from medical student to Emeritus. We will continue to lead the advancement of the highest quality care and shape the transition to value.
We remain committed to best practices and transparency in governance and to supporting leadership and diversity at AAOS and throughout orthopaedics. You will also see new commitments to great patient engagement and increased partnership across the musculoskeletal community. AAOS is evolving, innovating and leading the profession.
