FOCAL: Fellows Orthopaedic Continued AAHKS Learning

Specifically tailored to Adult Reconstruction Fellows and Senior Residents
FOCAL RecordingsJOA Reviewer Program

AAHKS FOCAL Webinars are free, online learning experiences for arthroplasty surgeons in training.  Arthroplasty fellows, young surgeons and senior residents can participate in these interactive lectures and case discussions to learn from many of the country’s top adult reconstruction surgeons in live, monthly webinars and via our library of 60+ FOCAL webinar recordings. View recordings here

The AAHKS FOCAL Initiative arose during COVID-19 to address learning gaps the pandemic created within the fellowship learning experience in 2020 and beyond.  The FOCAL Committee, led by Vivek M. Shah, MD, is dedicated to building on the initiative’s success, enhancing adult reconstruction fellow education and supplementing the overall knowledge of arthroplasty trainees through FOCAL’s ongoing relevant and popular webinar series.

Please note: FOCAL Session participation will not award CME.

The JOA Reviewer Mentorship Program is another opportunity for arthroplasty fellows interested in getting involved with the research peer-review process. The program trains residents, fellows and physicians early in practice on how to effectively review a journal article. Participants are matched with a current JOA Elite Reviewer who help them complete their first reviews and answer questions. Apply today.
