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.

The Hall of Fame Committee accepts nominations annually between Nov. 1 and Feb. 10. If you are visiting this page outside of that window and wish to nominate a candidate for the Hall of Fame, please check back during this timeframe.
