Programs and concepts
It is never too soon or too late to learn
In order to build education that directly impacts patient health, the curriculum development process starts by first identifying the patient problems to address and the competencies required of the surgeon.
AO CMF's competency-based education events include Management of Facial Trauma (MFT) courses and Lighthouse courses.
Additionally, various advances and masters courses and seminars and a variety of online educational resources ranging from free webinars and online case discussions to live lectures with top faculty around the world are available to our community.
