Welcome to the American Orthopaedic Association’s Website!
Emergency Department Call Coverage: Your Input Requested by May 20, 2008
The AOA’s Orthopaedic Institute of Medicine (OIOM) provides focused, in-depth, unbiased education, information, and recommendations on issues critical to orthopaedics and the care of patients. The OIOM recognized the looming problem with Emergency Department Call Coverage and selected this as its first topic to address. Please provide your valuable input into this critical issue within our profession by completing a brief online survey. Access the survey at:
http://www.pswebsurvey.com/AOA
The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and is being administered by a third party provider. Responses will be kept confidential. Every orthopaedic surgeon that completes the survey, can elect to include their name into a drawing for a complimentary registration to the AOA~Kellogg Leadership Series Module of his/her choice. Five winners will be drawn. For a printed copy of the survey, please contact Jodene Brown at brown@aoassn.org or 847.318.7350.
Your input into this critical issue is important and will help the OIOM Taskforce understand the broad challenges associated with this topic. We thank you in advance for your time.
