The Launchpad Experience Debuted as a Valuable Resource for PGY5 Residents

The AAOS Launchpad Experience began with a strong and impactful debut. Following the program's official launch, AAOS dedicated efforts to the careful design, implementation, and delivery of the inaugural cohort, specifically tailored for PGY5 Residents. Participants benefited from a focused curriculum and unique opportunities that addressed their needs at this pivotal stage of training. Building on this momentum, AAOS has already initiated outreach to invite the next round of residents, setting the stage for Cohort 2 and ensuring the continued growth of this innovative member experience.
