on to ensure the continuation of quality education, research and sub-specialty clinical skills development. OMeGA will operate as a fair, independent and fully transparent entity in efforts to continue the advancement of orthopaedic care," said Louis Bigliani, MD, President of the AOA. "Zimmer's common commitment to transparency and independence is the perfect fit for OMeGA. As the first company to embrace this new approach, Zimmer has been designated as the Founding Supporter of OMeGA and their generous donation has placed them as a Platinum Supporter, the highest level of recognition given to OMeGA donors based on funding levels," said Dr. Bigliani.

The Board of Directors of OMeGA will be selected using criteria that require individuals to meet rigorous standards of independence; only those who have no current ties to the orthopaedic industry and who have received no remuneration from the orthopaedic industry in the past two years will be eligible to serve as Directors. The Board of Directors will establish review panels composed of individuals who are qualified by their education and experience to evaluate education programs in various sub-specialties and who satisfy OMeGA's conflict of interest standards. These independent review panels will be responsible for applying objective criteria to consider grant applications, subject to continued oversight by the Board of Directors.
