All materials needed for the organization of the educational event are included: pre-event reading, lectures, videos, user manual for organizers, a study guide for participants, pre- and post-event assessments, etc. The content of AO In-Hospital for ORP modules can easily be tailored to the educational needs of the local participants, promoting reflection and discussion, and featuring hands-on demonstrations and self-assessment of participants.
