AO Spine North America fellows portal

Your one-stop resource for everything related to AO Spine NA fellowships
Welcome to your AO Spine North America (AO SNA) Fellowship!
 
As Chair of the AO SNA Fellowship Committee, I am proud to serve along with a number of dedicated volunteer spine surgeons and AO staff, all working to provide you with a solid foundation to your spine surgical training as you embark on a fulfilling career in spine surgery.
 
We do this by connecting you with your orthopedic and neurosurgical colleagues to share experiences and knowledge, focusing on areas which will enhance your fellowship and residency training, and create a platform for cogent discussion and debate.
 
Through the AO fellowship process, you will experience all aspects of our tripartite mission in augmenting your clinical spine training with educational opportunities and research, which culminates in the spring at our AO SNA Fellows Forum.
 
In addition to sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences, AO Spine NA also gives guidance and direction about the “business” of our profession with our Practice Essentials sessions and networking events for your career such as at our Global Spine Congress and through AO membership.
Congratulations on being accepted to an AO SNA Fellowship and enjoy the awesome educational and professional development opportunities that are coming your way.
