About RI Orthopedic Society

The Rhode Island Orthopedic Society is dedicated to promoting excellence in the science and art of orthopedic surgery. Our mission is to foster collaboration and dialogue among physicians, advocate for high-quality orthopedic care for all patients, and engage the public on critical issues in orthopedic health. In partnership with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the Rhode Island Medical Society, we strive to advance the field of orthopedic surgery through education, advocacy, and shared expertise.

The Rhode Island Orthopedic Society is an organization both representing and uniting Rhode Island’s community of orthopedic surgeons. Our society advances awareness and support for the practice of orthopedic medicine through our valued relationships with the state legislature.
