How You Can Foster Your Innovative Ideas with the New Innovation Exchange – An AANA Member Benefit

The relationship between innovation and the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) is evident, from its cadaver lab courses and live meetings that bring advanced techniques to its attendees to its expansive membership that delivers the latest resources that help improve patient outcomes.

 The inception of the AANA Innovation Exchange would therefore come as no surprise. In an effort to bring additional resources related to innovation to its members, AANA formed a partnership with AngelMD, an online community of healthcare startups, physicians and investors that promotes innovation on a digital platform – and the AANA Innovation Exchange took off from there.
