Join us on August 3-6 as we commemorate the sixth year of Orthopaedic Advocacy Week with a week of education and collaboration on the policy issues impacting musculoskeletal care. This four-day virtual event elevates the voices of orthopaedic surgeons from across the United States to inspire system-wide change.  No matter where you are in your career journey, your perspective matters. Orthopaedic Advocacy Week is a chance to learn, connect, and join a supportive network of colleagues who care about the same issues.
