Please note: This does not guarantee your PGY4 resident attendance at the 2012 Resident Leadership Forum.

This two-day event introduces leadership concepts to young orthopaedists through interactive sessions:

• Leadership development
• Business/finance tools
• Communications skills
• Management skills
• Peer-to-peer interaction
• Resident-to-leader interaction

Participants may attend the AOA Annual Meeting, typically closed to non-AOA members, for the first evening and first full day of AOA Annual Meeting as part of the registration fee. For an additional (discounted) fee, RLF participants may stay for the entire AOA Annual Meeting.

Staying for all or part of the AOA's Annual Meeting gives young orthopaedists opportunities to:

• Meet orthopaedic leaders at RLF-related professional and social events
• Participate in AOA activities

Residents return to their programs with:

• A new understanding of what it means to be an orthopaedic leader as they enter their fifth year of residency
• A new sense of responsibility to the orthopaedic community
• Automatic eligibility to join the AOA's Emerging Leaders Program with completion of application
• One issue of the Emerging Leaders Messenger, the e-newsletter for the Emerging Leaders Program
