AOSSM members are physicians and allied health professionals who demonstrate scientific leadership, involvement and dedication in the daily practice of sports medicine.
Members must demonstrate continuing active research and educational activities in the field of sports medicine. Such activities may include service as a team physician at any level of competition, educating persons involved with the health of athletes, service to local, regional, national and international competitions, and the presentation of scientific research papers at sports medicine meetings.
The unifying interest of the membership is their concern with the effects of exercise and the monitoring of its impact on active individuals of all ages, abilities and levels of fitness. While many members treat high profile athletes who play on professional teams, many devote their practices to helping out their community by treating players on the local high school or junior college team.
Through research and advances in surgical and rehabilitation techniques, orthopaedic sports medicine specialists have been able to treat and rehabilitate athletes whose injuries were once career-ending and put them back in the game.
Formed primarily as a forum for education and research, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine has increased its membership from its modest membership of less than 100 to over 2,000. There are 67 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education approved Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellowships in the United States and Canada.
AOSSM Members receive a complimentary subscription of the American Journal of Sports Medicine and the Sports Medicine Update, discounts on meeting registration fees and Society publications. The benefits of AOSSM membership are endless.
