Our Mission

The Mission of the American Association of Latin Orthopedic Surgeons (AALOS) is to improve the quality and accessibility of Orthopedic health care for the Hispanic Population in the USA.

Our efforts are aimed at improving cultural competency in the orthopedic profession and mentoring Hispanic students who aspire to become orthopedic surgeons. We strongly support efforts to diversify the profession of orthopedic surgery so that the cultural demographics of orthopedic surgery mirror the population of the USA.
