Cassandra A. Lee, M.D.
“AANA membership offers many benefits that allow us to share ideas with other experts in arthroscopy. The depth and breadth of learning AANA offers is second to none – being able to learn from experts and get hands-on experience during lab courses is as unique as it comes. The networking is also unmatched, both in-person with the annual meeting and lab courses and virtually with DocMatter and webinars.”
Dustin Volkmer, M.D., FAANA
“Membership in AANA has proven invaluable in growing my practice and becoming a better surgeon for my patients. I have had the opportunity to connect with numerous colleagues through my volunteer work on committees and through the DocMatters virtual community. AANA truly feels like a supportive professional “family” that focuses on the needs of its members.”
Edward E. Vellios, M.D., FAANA
“Being an active member of AANA for the past 7 years has enhanced my orthopaedic education, provided me with leadership opportunities within the organization itself and most importantly has allowed me to make long lasting friendships with other arthroscopic surgeons from around the world."
