The AAOE Member Engagement Task Force is being established to guide the development and completion of the 2025 Member Engagement Plan. The 2025 AAOE Member Engagement Plan outlines a long-term strategy for increasing and sustaining member engagement through targeted touchpoints, meaningful programming, and data-driven insights.
With a focus on supporting members throughout their journey—from joining AAOE to potential departure from the musculoskeletal industry—the plan emphasizes three pillars of strategic success. Read more about the work and composition of the task force.

Become a Peer Review Panelist
When trustworthy members participate in our Peer Review process, their objective evaluation helps us decide which healthcare products and services deliver the performance improvements, organizational savings, and overall value for professionals in the field.
As an AAOE member who serves as a Peer Review panelist, you'll:
- Learn about the latest healthcare products, services, and solutions.
- Evaluate them for quality, service, and value.
- Help your industry colleagues make effective choices in the vendor marketplace.
The review can take up to 60 minutes typically. It includes a recording, an overview of the solution, and providing feedback online. Sometimes it includes reviewing a case study to assist in providing feedback. Panelists are matched to products and services based on their expertise (gathered in the application) and select the products and services for which they want to provide feedback.
