Did you know that the AAOS Membership App includes HIPAA-compliant Community Groups? These groups are a secure and supportive space for members to share challenging patient cases, upload radiographs, and receive peer feedback. Whether you are looking for advice or offering insights, Community Groups provide an ideal environment for collaboration. Have a specific question for a colleague? Simply tag them in your post so they receive instant notifications, and you’ll receive quick responses.
The app’s chat feature also allows members to connect directly—either one on one or in group chats—without the hassle of searching for contact details or sifting through emails and texts. It is an efficient way to network and collaborate with peers, all within the app. This feature streamlines communication, ensuring you can quickly reach out for advice or discuss complex cases, all while maintaining a professional and secure space for your interactions.
In addition to Community Groups, the free AAOS Membership App makes it easy to complete essential tasks, such as updating your profile and disclosures, checking your CME transcripts, and paying dues—all in one convenient place. No more navigating multiple platforms. With the app, you have all the tools you need at your fingertips.
Users can also access their own CME history and status by tapping on the MyCME icon on the home screen dashboard. This will take them to the AAOS Learning Portfolio, a free online tool that provides members with a customized, real-time picture of their 10-year maintenance of certification process along with their Academy CME transcript. This portfolio makes it simple to track your progress and stay on top of your professional development.
For resident members, the app offers a version tailored specifically to your needs, with direct access to key resources such as:
- AAOS Resident Orthopaedic Knowledge (ROCK) platform
- ResStudy
- AAOS Resident Assembly website
Download the app today through the Apple or Google Store. A first-time user must sign in with an AAOS member login and password. To learn more, visit aaos.org/MembershipApp-25.
