A faster way to find Faculty Support Packages

Preparing for an AO course takes place alongside a busy clinical schedule. Finding the right lecture, case, or curriculum document should therefore be as straightforward as possible.

The new Faculty Support Packages layout makes it easier to locate the approved materials you need. Instead of navigating through multiple folders, you can search using keywords and quickly access curriculum documents, prepared lectures, small group discussion cases, practical exercise materials, related video links, and faculty guidance all in one place.

The educational content has not changed. It remains the current, approved teaching material developed and refined by AO surgeons, educators, and clinical experts over many years. What has changed is how easily you can find and access it.

What’s different

Clearer topic areas, so you can see the shape of a package before you open it. Better descriptions and previews, so you know you have the right file before you download it. And direct links to each resource, so preparing a session takes minutes rather than an evening.

Find the latest approved course materials, cases, lectures, and faculty guidance in one place.

How to access the Faculty Support Packages

To access the Faculty Support Packages, go to www.aofoundation.org and log in. From the relevant clinical specialty page, head to the Education menu, and under Faculty select Faculty Resource Center. From there, choose the relevant course or topic and click Access material to view the available resources.

Materials may also be downloaded where available, allowing you to prepare offline when needed.
