Support the Future of Orthopaedic Patient Education
Your generous gift to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) helps support AAOS' trusted resources and digital tools — including OrthoInfo — that teach patients and caregivers about musculoskeletal issues.
We strive to provide unbiased, easy-to-understand patient education content that helps answer questions and address concerns, guide treatment decisions, and strengthen communication between patients and their doctors. Studies have shown that patients who are more informed tend to have better outcomes and feel more confident about both their care and their healthcare team.
At AAOS, we believe everyone should have free access to high-quality musculoskeletal patient education: Your tax-deductible donation enables us to make a wealth of information available for people to use whenever, wherever, and however they need it.
Choose Where Your Gift Makes an Impact
In addition to Patient Education, you can choose to support other areas of need at AAOS:
- Education & Training – Fuels resident, medical student, and international member education programs, helping to shape the future of orthopaedic care
- Research & Innovation – Supports surgeon-led advancement of orthopaedic care
- International Membership – Expands membership for surgeons practicing outside the U.S., promoting global knowledge and information exchange
When donating online, you can direct your gift to a specific area or select "Area of Greatest Need" to give AAOS the flexibility to respond where support is needed most.
