Success Stories
I don’t belong to any other organizations anymore because I feel everything I need is right here – the education, comradery, networking, it’s all in AAOE.
From the annual conference, I get to know a lot of good vendors which has helped my practice a lot. You get out of it what you put into it.
I think AAOE is valuable because it is only orthopaedics. While we are all very different groups, we have the same struggles for the most part. Collaborate in itself is an absolutely amazing resource. It’s so nice to have peers to share information, struggles, successes with.
I’ve found I learned more in AAOE education (webinars, annual meetings, etc) than I have through any other organization.
Find data-driven solutions.
Data is the invaluable path to innovation. In any aspect of life, utilizing data allows you to identify opportunities for development, evaluate performance, and take calculated steps toward measurable outcomes. As the healthcare industry continues to be an ever-changing landscape, data is the reliable source of direction, information, and growth. To support our belief in the importance of Data, AAOE facilitates a Benchmarking Survey and operates a QR Platform called Empower.
