What Our Members Are Saying

Jason Lipof, MD
Clinical Fellow, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Rochester
When COVID hit, Mike proactively engaged hundreds of residents across the country in conversation to ask how he could help us and to better understand our needs…and he then went to private and academic practice leadership to replicate this needs assessment and created an incredible platform with content to make us stronger candidates who are better prepared for practice while also helping to satisfy our ACGME requirements. JobsInOrtho brings tremendous visibility to all job opportunities while increasing efficiency and reducing anxiety and costs for everyone.”

Daniel London, MD
Chief Resident, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mount Sinai Health System
Navigating the job search process for the first time can be daunting. The AOC has created incredibly valuable content that goes into the details of contracts and negotiations. This is knowledge I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. Residents need to be aware of this resource!”

Patrick Massey M.D.
Program Director, Director of Clinical Research, Dept. of Orthopaedic Surgery, LSU Health Shreveport, Director of Pediatric Sports Medicine, Shriner’s Hospital for Children Shreveport
Michael, thank you so much for all of your excellent leadership and contribution to the field of orthopaedics. I am the Program Director for the Residency at LSU in Shreveport. I wrote the article on Surgical Selection in JAAOS with our Chair, Dr. Shane Barton, and attended the recent lecture with you and him. I just gave my residents the lecture on different contracts and practice models based on the PPT you gave us months ago. The feedback was extremely positive. My residents want more! I think AOC could really pioneer this business/ leadership aspect for all residents from day one with a solid curriculum and I love the list of topics you have!”
