The Orthopaedic Institute of Medicine's overall objective is to
provide focused, in-depth, unbiased education, information, and
recommendations on issues critical to the profession of
orthopaedics and the care of patients with musculoskeletal disease
or injury that also impact other disciplines/specialties and/or
health care providers.
With its first project on Emergency
Department Call Coverage complete, the OIOM Council explored
potential topics for a second study. All Council Members agreed
that the interface between surgeons and industry met the topic
selection criteria.
The OIOM Council gathered individuals with a variety of
perspectives, training and positions who have knowledge and
experience on this incredibly important topic to serve on the OIOM
Task Force (links to task force roster).
To ensure the independent perspective of OIOM, no organization -
including the AOA - can alter or approve/reject the final work
product of the Task Force. By maintaining this separation, there is
increased credibility to the unbiased work of OIOM and its Task
Force.
