About the Hall of Fame
In 2001, AOSSM established the Hall of Fame to honor members of the orthopaedic sports medicine community who have contributed significantly to the specialty and set themselves apart. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is one of the highest honors given to a Society member, and we congratulate the inductees on their great achievements in sports medicine.
How to Nominate
Nominations accepted October through February
The Hall of Fame Committee is not currently accepting nominations. Check back in early October to nominate someone for induction into the Society’s Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame inductees are recognized each year during the AOSSM Annual Meeting.
