Traveling Fellowships

AOA's Traveling Fellowships recognize young leaders for their early contributions to orthopaedics, identifying and promoting their leadership skills to the broader orthopaedic community.

Tours are structured to:

• recognize young leaders for their early contributions to orthopaedics
• develop the fellow's leadership skills and networks
• provide interactions and experiences with the world's orthopaedic leaders and previous AOA fellows
• prepare fellows for the greater challenges of leading and improving the specialty
• confront critical issues impacting the specialty.

Traveling Fellowship alumni:

• have access to AOA's membership, who share a similar interest in leadership
• share experiences and knowledge as they grow their careers and contribute to the specialty of orthopaedics
