Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, often listed as "FAAOS," is a post-nominal title used to indicate that qualified orthopedic surgeons are members of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, an American professional organization of orthopedic surgeons.

Board Certification in orthopedic surgery is required to be a member.

Notable Members

 * Atticus Lincoln, M.D., F.A.A.O.S. (orthopedic surgeon)

Notes and Trivia

 * Dr. Callie Torres was not a member of AAOS.
 * This title isn't automatically gained and must be applied for once certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, post-residency.
 * Because membership to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery is optional and voluntary, not every dermatologist will have the FAAD title.
