AO Fellowship in Medical Education Research
The AO Education Institute (AO EI) is offering a group of selected fellows the opportunity to conduct research in postgraduate surgical education in a global environment to build more evidence in the field of continuous professional development for surgeons.
We offer these fellowships to further contribute to the body of research in medical education and therefore reinforce our commitment to improving performance and patient outcomes through education. Fellows have access to an international professional network to conduct their research. Fellows also have the opportunity to learn about our not-for-profit global medical education organization and build a personal network.
