Can I get a 'Personal Membership' in my company's name?

Answer: No. An invitation to Personal Membership in The Institute for Orthopaedics™ is extended to an individual who desires to invest in his or her personal professional development. All benefits, services, and publications are made available for the exclusive and personal use of the Member and are not to be shared with any other individual or entity.

Can I give my access codes to another individual?

Answer: No. In order to provide the most convenience for our Membership, we utilize a simple username/password protocol to allow access to our Members Area. As each of you has made a personal investment, we will protect the exclusive and privileged nature of your Personal Membership, and we ask that you do likewise by not sharing your username/password with others. If you know or suspect that someone else is using your access codes, please let us know and we will issue new codes.

Can I put the 'Members Area' on my company's Intranet?

Answer: Not without permission. We do not authorize the use of the Members Area or any of its content on any Intranet, Extranet or in any other manner or on any other platform. Any individual or entity permitting such use is in violation of copyright law.

Can we have a 'Company-wide Membership'?
