Spanish-language sessions at AAOS 2026 expand access to orthopaedic education
Published 3/4/2026
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons continues its commitment to inclusive, accessible education by offering a dedicated slate of Spanish-language sessions at the AAOS 2026 Annual Meeting. These sessions are designed to support Spanish-speaking orthopaedic surgeons by delivering high-quality clinical education in their preferred language while fostering global connection and collaboration.
These sessions will be held on Thursday and will cover a wide range of topics, including shoulder, hip and knee, and sports medicine. Both international and U.S.-based speakers will lead sessions, bringing diverse clinical perspectives and real-world experience to current challenges and evolving best practices in orthopaedic care. These sessions offer an opportunity for Spanish speakers to engage deeply with clinical content, exchange insights with peers, and learn from faculty who bring a global perspective to orthopaedic practice. AAOS encourages all orthopaedic surgeons to attend these sessions and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to learn from international experts.
