About the AOS

Orthopaedic surgeons across Alberta benefit from the collective strength and shared voice of the Alberta Orthopaedic Society (AOS). Since 1995, this not-for-profit organization has worked to build a strong, connected community of orthopaedic specialists—one that values leadership, collaboration, and progress.

AOS supports its members by facilitating dialogue around healthcare policy, strengthening relationships with partners like the AMA, COA and IIHO and creating opportunities for learning and advancement. At its heart, the Society is about empowering orthopaedic professionals to thrive—both in practice and within the evolving landscape of Alberta’s healthcare system.
