Welcome to the Gladden Society Website!

The J. Robert Gladden Orthopaedic Society is a multiracial, multicultural, and inclusive membership organization that promotes and supports underrepresented minorities in Orthopaedic Surgery which includes African Americans, Blacks, Hispanics, Latinos, and Women.

The Gladden Mission is to advance inclusion in the Orthopaedic Surgery profession and to promote the highest quality musculoskeletal care to achieve health equity for all.

Making a Difference Through Mentoring

Only 1.9% of practicing orthopaedic surgeons are black. Through multi-faceted mentoring programs, the Gladden Society is cultivating the next generation of underrepresented orthopaedic surgeons.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or are a medical student, or resident seeking an orthopaedic mentor, visit our mentorship committee page for more information.
