Research Training & Education
Designed by surgeons for surgeons
Many surgeons receive little to no training in the principles of research, and accessing grant funding is generally not part of a surgeon’s skill set.
This is why, AO CMF together with AO Foundation and AO Innovation Translation Center (AO ITC), provides extensive research education through eLearning modules, face-to-face courses and practical clinical research fellowships.
