Program Directors
As you train the next class of orthopaedic surgeons, lean on AANA resources to enhance your program.
- Maintaining ACGME accreditation is a time-consuming process. So, AANA created a free webinar series called CORE: Comprehensive Orthopaedic Resident and Fellows Education which includes 24 webinars for fellowship programs.
- Encourage your program participants to attend the AANA Foundations in Arthroscopy lab course, which provides beginning arthroscopists with superior operative expertise and finely-tuned motor skills that will help them make the best treatment decisions for their patients.
- The AANA Education Foundation offers program participants several different scholarships so they can experience the AANA Annual Meeting or an AANA Lab Course – share this information!
AANA Resident and Fellow Membership is FREE
Please encourage your current class to take advantage of AANA’s free membership. They receive access to the Arthroscopy journal online, discounts on the AANA Online Learning Center (along with several free programs!), access to the AANA Career Center – and so much more… for FREE.
