The AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting Medical Student Program offers a unique opportunity for medical students to explore their future in orthopaedic surgery. This dynamic program, held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday in Room 6B, allows participants to immerse themselves in the field and connect with leading experts.
This is not a typical lecture hall experience. The Medical Student Program features interactive workshops where students gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art orthopaedic procedures. Participants can explore the latest advancements in areas like joint replacement, sports medicine, and trauma surgery, applying their knowledge and discovering what truly excites them within orthopaedics.
Students with research they are passionate about can present their posters and receive valuable insights from experienced professionals. Networking is a key component of the program, providing opportunities to connect with orthopaedic surgeons, residents, and fellows at the forefront of the field. These connections can lead to invaluable mentorships, research collaborations, and even guidance in finding the ideal residency program.
The program includes:
- expert presentations from top minds in orthopaedics, sharing expertise on cutting-edge surgical techniques, career paths, and more
- interactive, hands-on workshops designed to provide practical experience in a range of orthopaedic procedures
- poster session where students showcase their research and gain recognition from leaders in the field
The Medical Student Program is free for all medical students registered for AAOS 2025. This is a valuable opportunity to explore the possibilities within orthopaedic surgery.
