We advance the practice of veterinary surgery to improve patient outcomes.

This is accomplished by building a network of professionals with common goals and a love of orthopedics and teaching, to share their experiences, their knowledge, and their expertise in a more collegial and collaborative way.

AO VET is one of the four clinical divisions of the AO, the world’s pre-eminent educator in orthopedics.
