— August 12, 2025 — Marketing
The American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons — also known as AAOS — is hosting its fifth annual Orthopaedic Advocacy Week. This virtual event is designed to mobilize physicians around key policy issues affecting musculoskeletal care.

AAOS' Orthopaedic Advocacy Week provides a platform for orthopaedic surgeons to collectively address legislative and regulatory challenges, including prior authorization reform, physician-led hospitals, and federally funded research. Through coordinated efforts such as letter-writing campaigns to Congress and engagement with Medicare/Medicaid policymakers, participants aim to influence healthcare decisions that impact both medical professionals and patients. AAOS strategically structures its Orthopaedic Advocacy Week to include dedicated days for grassroots outreach, political action committee involvement, and regulatory commentary. This demonstrates a strategic effort to drive systemic change in orthopaedic practice and patient access to care.
