Welcome to the AAOS Orthopaedic Disclosure Program

The AAOS Orthopaedic Disclosure Program serves as a central repository of all relevant commercial relationships for orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals involved in organizational governance, guidelines development, CME faculty or authors of enduring materials, editors-in-chief and editorial boards.

AAOS policy requires all members involved in organizational governance, guidelines development, CME faculty or authors of enduring materials, editors-in-chief and editorial boards to complete the AAOS mandatory disclosure information.

AAOS policy also requires a limited number of members to disclose certain enhanced information related to each disclosure of a conflict of interest. Detailed information is required for each conflict noted. In addition, a limited number of AAOS staff have been identified as requiring access to this detailed level of information; all other individuals may see only whether a potential conflict exists and, if so, with what entity.

The disclosure program has two primary purposes:

• Streamlining the disclosure process for orthopaedic surgeons and others involved in organizational governance, all formats of continuing medical education and authors of enduring materials, guidelines development and editors-in-chief and editorial boards, from whom disclosure is required; and
• Increasing transparency throughout AAOS by making this disclosure program available to AAOS members and the public.

For the purposes of any CME event or enduring program, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) requires any contributor to disclose conflicts of interest.
