SAN ANTONIO (April 1, 2024) —
Boris A. Zelle, MD, FAAOS, FAOA, professor, vice-chair of research and chief of orthopaedic trauma in the Department of Orthopaedics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio), recently received the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2024 Diversity Award, recognizing outstanding contributions to advancing diversity in the field.
With more than 39,000 members, the AAOS is the world’s largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists.
“Receiving the AAOS Diversity Award means a lot to me,” Zelle told the AAOS. “I have practiced academic medicine for many years, and I cannot think of any other accomplishment that I have found more meaningful. Above all, I consider it a recognition of our combined efforts to support important values that I deeply believe in.”
