Services and resources

We bring together extensive expertise and experience in developing curriculum, faculty, and teaching materials to transform medical education, improve surgeon performance, and promote excellence in patient care.

Curriculum development

We develop competency-based programs for all AO clinical areas.

Faculty development

We foster and develop a global pool of world-class clinical teachers.

Teaching material development

Whatever is needed to support learning: books, journals, videos, websites, eLearning—we create it.

Let's speak the same language!

Running a global medical education organization requires a lot of communication between surgeon faculty, educationalists, event organizers, and staff. To make communication easier and avoid confusion the AO Education Institute has developed the “AO Glossary of Educational Terms” freely accessible to our entire global network.
