Robert Beattie, M.D., FRCSC, FACS, FAANA
“From the moment I joined AANA, I knew it was more than an organization—it was a community of passionate surgeons dedicated to innovation and education. The camaraderie, the exchange of ideas and the inspiration from AANA’s leaders have fueled my growth for decades. It’s this environment of support and shared purpose that has kept me passionate about arthroscopy and, truthfully, delayed my retirement more than once. As my mentor used to say, ‘AANA loves you, baby’—and I can attest, it truly does.”
Jacqueline M. Brady, M.D., FAANA
“The AANA Annual Meeting cemented my decision to pursue a sports medicine fellowship as a PGY-3, and now, 10 years into practice, this organization continues to inspire me to hone my skills as a surgeon and researcher. AANA is full of approachable superstars who are invested in the growth and success of their colleagues and mentees in addition to the evolution of arthroscopy. It’s the all-are-welcome approach to participation and advancement within the society that keeps me engaged and involved, and I encourage everyone to join us as we continue to do great things as an organization!”
Harris S. Slone, M.D., FAANA
