Current Edition

January 2021

Marie Morris and Joel Rush, DO

In this edition, we remember Marie Morris, who served for many years as AOAO's assistant executive director alongside her husband, Morton Morris, DO, JD. We also have incoming President Fred McAlpin's acceptance speech, as well as his first president's message. There's also news about the 2020 Award recipients, the Female Orthopedic Section, the SAOAO and RAOAO, the AOAO Foundation and a summary about what it means to be a Fellow of the Academy. In addition, there are two interesting abstracts to read, and a collection of photos from previous annual meetings.
