The New Jersey Orthopaedic Society is one of the oldest and largest state orthopaedic societies in the United States.

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of musculoskeletal care for our patients.

We have nearly 500 members representing urban, suburban, military and academic practice settings. More than 12 of our members are leaders and committee members in our national organization, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Our two primary goals are education and advocacy. Each fall we sponsor a two day CME course for both residents and practicing orthopaedic surgeons. Residents from all four New Jersey training programs present research and complicated cases in a grand rounds format. Leading speakers from all around the country join us for an informative update on orthopaedic techniques and procedures. In the past seven years six former presidents of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons have been featured speakers.

Dr. Mitch Reiter is in charge of our spring program and each year we sponsor a five day CME spring trip to locations such as Jamaica and Grand Cayman. The 2010 spring meeting is being held April 20-25 at the Acqualina Resort near South Beach, Miami.

Twice a year we have On The Road dinners in different locations throughout the state. These feature an educational program with a guest speaker followed by an update on political and regulatory issues facing orthopaedic surgeons in New Jersey.

NJOS/OSNJ is leading the fight to maintain the high standard of orthopaedic practice that we and our patients all enjoy. Together with the Alliance for Quality Care we are pushing forward on all of these issues.

If you are an orthopaedic surgeon we urge you to get active and becoming involved.

If you are a patient or visitor we invite your comments and suggestions. You can reach us at 609-392-6154 or email membership@njos-osnj.org.

Barry S. Gleimer, DO
President
