The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Resident Advisory Panel provides resident feedback to the ABOS Graduate Medical Education (GME) Committee as well as the ABOS Communications Committee. The ABOS’s goal is to assemble a group of engaged orthopaedic surgery residents and give that group the opportunity to provide a resident’s perspective to the ABOS, talk with members of the ABOS Board of Directors, and meet other orthopaedic surgery resident leaders. The ABOS is looking for four residents who are interested in making an impact on their profession.
The panel is open to orthopaedic surgery residents who are currently in PGY1 through PGY3 in an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited Orthopaedic Surgery Residency program. Selected residents will serve on the panel for two years. The newly selected panelist will work with the current group for one year.
There will be several virtual meetings each year. In addition, there will be an in-person meeting each year at the AAOS Annual Meeting. The ABOS will cover all direct costs for the in-person meeting, including travel, hotel, and meals. There will also be periodic email requests for feedback from the Advisory Panel. Each year the Panel has the opportunity to propose a GME or Communications project to help the ABOS and/or orthopaedic surgery residents.
The Application is closed. Applicants have been notified. The next application will open in January 2027. If you have any questions, please contact residents@abos.org.
