The AOA-OREF Resident Leadership Forum acknowledges PGY4 residents as young orthopaedic leaders by recognizing their accomplishments to-date and giving them an opportunity to develop their leadership skills.

Program Directors and Department Chairs collaborate to nominate up to two outstanding PGY4 residents to attend in June. Nominations are now closed. To submit a nomination to our waiting list, please click HERE.

This two-day event introduces leadership concepts to young orthopaedists through interactive sessions:

  • Leadership development
  • Business/finance tools

Included in registration cost: residents may attend the opening ceremony and first full day of the AOA Annual Meeting, typically closed to non-AOA members.
