WHY JOIN AAOM?
The AAOM is the oldest educational society providing research and curriculum-based training regarding Interventional Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine and the related technologies.
Members of the AAOM gain entry into the exciting, continually evolving community of interventional regenerative orthopedic medicine (IROM) joining other physicians and researchers and organizations invested academically and professionally in IROM.
We are a not-for-profit membership organization that provides information and educational programs on the diagnosis and comprehensive non-surgical treatment of NMSK disorders with Interventional Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine (IROM) practices. AAOM promotes IROM Medicine by providing a curriculum-based forum for physicians to learn integrative diagnostic techniques and comprehensive non-surgical treatment methods, including appropriate injection therapies, image guided interventions, osteopathic manual medicine, and therapeutic exercises, pharmaceutical, nutritional, and hormonal treatments. Membership in the AAOM does not require adherence to any specific treatment protocols.
We welcome you to join your peers and colleagues as a member of AAOM. Membership runs on an annual basis, from January 1 through December 31 each year.
