Any time that you're in lockstep and going in the same direction as your patients, you're going to win. AOSSM has the best trained, the best educated, the most dedicated members out there taking care of the public.”
Jacqueline Brady, MD
AOSSM is unique—I am learning from this group what to do and how to do it better and advancing care for my patients. And I know AOSSM will advocate for my ability to do so in the way I feel is best. That’s how it was formed. Not every orthopaedic surgeon understands the nuances of athletic care, let alone lawmakers. Here we have a group here that’s willing to teach and learn, but also advocate and support.”
