Established in 1998, the Maryland Association of Orthopaedic Technologists was formed with the intent of providing a structured forum through which those persons involved in the profession of orthopaedic technology could unite for the promotion of the highest standards in orthopaedic healthcare. Our common objectives are:

• To promote and maintain the highest possible standards for professional, and personal conduct, for the purpose of providing the ultimate level of quality care.
• To provide for the study and exchange of the latest information, ideas and experience within the field of orthopaedic healthcare through workshops, lectures and discussion.
• To promote and facilitate lawful cooperation between orthopaedic technologists and other healthcare professions, medical facilities, hospitals, teaching institutions, professional associations, related companies and governmental agencies as they relate to the orthopaedic healthcare profession.
• To further the recognition of this Association by promoting constructive and meaningful communication between ourselves and other healthcare professionals.
