Research Development Committee
The mission of the Research Development Committee (RDC) is to promote orthopaedic research through advocacy, education, and recognition of excellence. The RDC aims to educate the AAOS fellowship about research activities and initiatives and provide opportunities for musculoskeletal researchers through annual research symposia, clinician scholar development programs, orthopaedic research awards, and its signature research advocacy event, Research Capitol Hill Days.
