Hospital-based education

Hospital-based education supports participants with their learning at the point of care. The modules are short, focused educational sessions on selected topics, such as intramedullary nailing or intraoperative imaging.

The most advanced programs in this area are the clinical training modules for operating room personnel (ORP). These are 2.5- to 3.5-hour, highly-interactive educational sessions delivered by AO Trauma faculty. They support ORP with their continuing nursing education at the hospitals.
