The American Academy / Association of Orthopedic Medicine announces the AAOM IROM-C, a written and practical Certification Examination.
Candidates must pass the written portion of the IROM-C before they can progress to take the Practical Exam. For information as to upcoming events where The Practical Exam can be written please visit http://www.aaomed.org/Orthopedic-Conferences. This web page provides an outline of the American Academy / Association of Orthopedic Medicine's (AAOM) certification program currently titled, Interventional and Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine Certification (IROM-C).
 I have been providing patients with some musculoskeletal
regenerative medicine for over fifteen years.
Since I have been working closely with AAOM, I have found that my skill
level has advanced rapidly and significantly. Excited by my improvements, I
made it a goal to take the IROM-C Exam knowing that having achieved that goal would
be an objective measure in how far I have come. Having taken several AAOM
courses, I found the written test while comprehensive fairly easy, and the
practical examination was a very positive experience for me having been
monitored by physicians who I have always looked up to observe me doing
evaluations and treatments on live patients, and knowing that I had done well
made me feel proud. I am glad that I set
the goal for myself to become IROM-C certified, and my patients can have the
confidence of knowing that the doctor performing regenerative medicine on them
is certified.Robert J Joseph, M.D. |
