Dr. Jenis was recently accepted to the Leadership Fellows Program (LFP) of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). The goal of the program is to inspire Academy Fellows to take on leadership roles within the AAOS and in orthopaedics. In general, acceptance to the competitive program provides an invaluable opportunity for recently installed members of the AAOS to work with true leaders in the field. Established in 2001, the highly competitive LFP creates a “leadership legacy” in orthopaedics by identifying promising younger members of the Academy. This year-long program combines didactic leadership training with ongoing, one-on-one mentoring from established leaders within the orthopaedic community. With sessions focused on strategic planning, media training, communication skills, and time and stress management, the LFP offers young orthopaedic surgeons the opportunity to explore the meaning and actions of “leadership.” AAOS Fellows who have a strong desire to develop their volunteer or leadership skills and become more active in the AAOS are eligible for consideration in the program.
