AAOS is committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional supervision practice. On this page, you can see the variety of supervisor-focused Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and member events offered for the current year.
Online and In-Person CPD
Five CPD sessions are held annually online via Zoom at no cost to AAOS members. There is no limit to the number of events members can register for. After the event, these sessions are made available as recordings in the 'Resources' section of the website.
Three in-person CPD days are held each year in capital city locations. Attending these events incurs a fee to cover the associated costs, and places are limited based on venue capacity. Register early to secure your place. Some sessions may be live-streamed where feasible - please check event descriptions for details.
Registration
AAOS members can register for an event by logging into their member account here.
AAOS online and in-person CPD events are also available to non-member supervisors for a listed fee. Please register below.
The AAOS CPD program is released each year in advance, and early registrations are encouraged. A CPD planning tool can be accessed here and members are encouraged to use it to select a variety of professional development options that meet their specific learning needs.
The final registration date for in-person CPD is provided in the event description. Please note: to earn CPD hours towards annual membership requirements and to obtain a certificate of participation, attendees must be present for the entire event. Those watching a recorded CPD event will not be eligible for a certificate.
