Academic Leadership Education 

A key component of the AOA Annual Meeting has been advancing academic orthopaedic education through special programming for Department Chairs and Program Directors. This emphasis will continue with the New and Prospective Chair Networking Breakfast, The Department Chair’s Forum, and the new Council of Orthopaedic Residency Directors (CORD) Meeting during the AOA's 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. These sessions will offer academic leaders the opportunity to exchange ideas with peers and to engage in relevant and timely sessions.

All Department chairs are encouraged to attend both sessions. Program Directors, Residency Coordinators and faculty of orthopaedic programs are encouraged to attend the CORD Meeting, which will include an educational forum and a business meeting. All attendees are invited to attend the Department Chair’s Forum. Participants must register for these programs.

Details about 2010 Academic Programming will be posted in the Fall of 2009.
