Please note this bursary is closed for 2025.
AOA and the International Orthopaedic Diversity Alliance (IODA) have established an ASM bursary to encourage and facilitate IODA member attendance at AOA's flagship national annual scientific meeting (ASM).
IODA is a not-for-profit organisation championing diversity, equity, and inclusion in orthopaedics worldwide with a vision for a global orthopaedic culture in which everyone can thrive. IODA provides a global platofrm dedicated to promoting diversity in orthopaedics through international leadership engagement, visible role models, education, mentorship, strategy development, research collaborations and support for diversity initiatives. Membership is free and open to orthopaedic surgeons, trainees, junior doctors, medical students, researchers and industry.
The 85th AOA Annual Scientific Meeting, with the theme ‘Connection’, will take place at the Grand Chancellor in Hobart from 12–16 October 2025.
One IODA AOA bursary will provide full registration (four days) to the ASM, including the social cocktail function.
