Western Orthopaedic Association

Description: The Western Orthopaedic Association was established in 1932 and was the first Orthopaedic Society of its kind west of the Mississippi. Under the guidance of past and present leadership, WOA membership has grown to over 1,700 members. Made up of volunteer member physicians, the Board of Directors is responsible for governing the Society and for establishing goals and setting priorities. In addition to the Board, both standing & ad-hoc committees address some of the most crucial challenges facing orthopaedic surgeons today while providing opportunities for members to become active participants in the work of the society.
