Celebrating Diversity at the Annual Meeting

The AAHKS Humanitarian Committee and Diversity Advisory Board worked with Nth Dimensions to co-host a “Clinical Correlations and Bioskills” workshop for local underrepresented Dallas-area high school students yesterday. This early exposure helps encourage underrepresented groups visualize a career for themselves in arthroplasty and medical sciences. The AAHKS Women in Arthroplasty (WIA) hosted a Traumaplasty Lab Course and Symposium on Perioperative Management on Thursday, welcoming surgeons of all genders, races and age to enjoy a networking hour and hands-on bioskills training. Today’s WIA Luncheon and Symposium, The Long Game in the OR: Reclaiming Your Body, Resetting Your Mind and Building Endurance for the Career,” emphasized the importance of wellness and surgeon self-care. This year’s Guest Society, TJRS, was celebrated for their contributions to the educational experience at #AAHKS2026 and partnership throughout the year during last evening’s International Reception.
