Abstract
Advocacy can be utilized to advance the legislative agenda of the AAOS and interested subspecialty groups in order to promote the highest level of care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. The AAOS office of government relations (OGR) promotes and represents the viewpoints of the orthopedic community before federal and state legislative, regulatory, and executive agencies. The OGR also provides important state advocacy services and appropriate comments on proposed federal regulations. The regulations that flow from the law can be molded by effective engagement with the agencies. The ultimate goal of orthopedic advocacy is to provide patients with high quality, safe, efficient, and effective musculoskeletal care.
