AO Trauma NA Think Tanks
This year, Think Tank for experienced surgeons and the Think Tank for New Practicing Surgeons are scheduled to be held simultaneously at OneAO, 2024 on Thursday, April 4th in Phoenix, Arizona. The primary goals of the meetings are sharing our collective knowledge of difficult problems related to Orthopaedic trauma, mentoring and development of experienced AO Trauma NA Faculty, and carrying on the tradition of the AO. As before, all surgeons invited will be both a teacher and a participant for this course. The overall structure will be using a Discussion Group format to facilitate the sharing of thoughts and ideas.
