Your society for a lifetime!

We are under construction until August 1. If you have specific questions, please contact Dr. Rowe at dr_rowe@gladdensociety.org.

Welcome to JRGOS

The JRGOS boasts the largest membership of black orthopaedic surgeons in the world.

Our members include surgeons from every orthopaedic subspecialty along with many orthopaedic department chairpersons and program directors. Become a member and support the Gladden Society’s mission to increase diversity within the orthopaedic profession and promote the highest quality musculoskeletal care for all people.

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 mentoring page for more information.
