Course description

The online version of the AO Trauma Advanced Principles course provides participants the possibility to continue learning and training in the absence of live face-to-face events. This online course does not replace the traditional face-to-face Advanced Principles course but provides mainly the knowledge component of the curriculum. Participants are encouraged to attend the face-to-face course as a follow up event to refresh their knowledge and add the skills component to their competencies.

This online course is delivered on 3 consecutive days from 12:00 to 16:00 CET (different modules each day consisting of presentations, small group discussions, and other activities). Participants will join online from home for 4 hours each day, and adequate break times will be integrated.
