Your one-stop resource for everything related to AO Trauma NA fellowships

Dear AO Trauma NA Fellows, 

 

Welcome all of you to AO Trauma North America (AO TNA) as you start your 2024-2025 fellowship year.

 

If you don't already know, the institution that you have selected to complete your fellowship training is a recognized AO TNA fellowship site. There are only a limited number of approved fellowship sites within the US and Canada as it is a highly competitive process and therefore a prestigious honor to be recognized as an AO TNA site. Fortunately for you all, that means that you are all AO Trauma North America Fellows!!!! For those that do not know, AO Trauma is a unique professional and medical association of trauma surgeons with both local and international presence representing some of the world's greatest talent in trauma care.
