It is my pleasure to invite you to join the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons (AANOS). Those who typically choose to apply for membership in our organization are seeking a forum to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and experience and wish to enhance them through association with like-minded peers. In many ways, there is a common denominator that ties us inextricably together. First and foremost, Academy members have a need that wasn’t being fulfilled by the mainstream medical and surgical establishment. It may be a need of recognition for what we have accomplished and a forum in which to share those accomplishments.

Certification is available from the American Federation of Medical Accreditation to qualified members of the  Academy in the following specialties: To lookup a member of the Academy click HERE

The American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons (AANOS) is a non‑profit organization dedicated to advancing excellence in neurosurgery and orthopaedic surgery. Since 1976, we’ve supported surgeons through rigorous education, high training standards, and opportunities for collaboration that ultimately enhance patient care…

Academy membership provides prestige, certification, accredited education and more. Physicians who practice neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery or neurology are invited to join the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons. In addition, physicians and allied health professionals who have an interest in these areas of medicine or are involved in related fields may also join the Academy in an appropriate member category.

The American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons (the Academy) typically holds its Annual Scientific Meeting in conjunction with the ICSUS Annual Surgical Update. Working closely with members of the Academy’s Scientific Organizing Committee to determine professional practice gaps and educational need, ICSUS planners assist to develop two days of programming that has historically provided 8 hours of category 1 credit specifically related to our major surgical specialties. A total of approximately 20 credits are usually available for the entire 3-day conference, including practice management and ethics content.
