About the AO Spine Educational Strategies Task Force:
The Educational Strategies Task Force allows AO Spine to develop and offer innovative educational programs on a variety of platforms to meet the changing needs of our members. The above article is based on the work of task force members Steven Theiss, Alaa Ahmad, Alpaslan Şenköylü, Muzahem Taha, Luiz Gustavo, Jose Manuel Ignacio, and Harry Gebhard who recently collated information on current options and trends in simulation along with the current evidence. A white paper examining the types of simulation technology has been published to support the work of the AO Faculty.
