Business Of Orthopaedics Webinars Provided by Academic Orthopaedic Consortium

[Kim Reising]

Hello ARCOS Members and Happy Fall Y’all!

I wanted to share with you this great opportunity for your residents and fellows. If your program struggles with providing a curriculum for your senior residents and fellows in preparation for practice upon completing their training, please check out this opportunity provided by AOC.

The Academic Orthopaedic Consortium (AOC) has created this amazing educational content that focuses on the “business of orthopaedics” and “how to navigate job search, employment contracts, and negotiation” for our Residents and Fellows. Approximately 400 of our residents and fellows helped to pick and prioritize these topics that the AOC will provide. Over 80% of our Orthopaedic Department Chairs have requested that the AOC provide this content if it could be provided for free. There will be NO COST to ARCOS members and their residency programs for this content. This content will unburden many of us from the work producing and organizing this curriculum. It will also help to satisfy ACGME requirements. Please see the attached draft curriculum being developed now.

Residents and Fellows must be members of the AOC to get this free educational programming and we decided that it would be best for each Program Coordinator to send a list of their residents and fellows and their email addresses to michael@aoc-ortho.com by October 9 and the AOC will establish free memberships for them. You may also contact AOC Founder & CEO Mike Gagnon who can speak to you about how to send that information to him, please get in touch with him directly about this to make it easier for your trainees to participate.

Lastly, nearly all of our Orthopaedic Chairs, Division Chiefs, Program Directors, and Chief Administrative Officers are members of the AOC and we are proud to announce that the AOC has created a new membership category for ARCOS members (Program Coordinators) and to provide free memberships to all of the coordinators so that we can receive their communications on matters that tie to our roles and to our residents and fellows.

Also, after each webinar session, you will receive an email with a list of your residents/fellows who attended the webinar from your program for your records.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
