About the AO Education Institute
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.
AO Competency-Based Curriculum
The seal of quality in medical education
Education in AO is designed by using a dedicated process grounded in the most recent evidence from medical education research. All programs featuring the “AO Competency-Based Curriculum” stamp were developed using this process.
