CurriculaA framework for educational planningAOCMF’s high quality approach to educational offerings contributes significantly tothe AO’s goal of improving patient care. In order to achieve the highest quality, andto have the greatest educational impact, AOCMF is in the process of designing andimplementing curricula to ensure we deliver competency-based educational activities.AOCMF education applies a structured planning processto developing curricula.Curriculum Development EducationTaskforce (CDET)The CDET is responsible for developing a new curriculum,which means building new competency based course contentfor a specific target audience. The CDET consists of fourinternational program editors, AOCMF surgeons from aroundthe world mandated by the AOCMF international board. Thechairperson of each AOCMF region acts as a regional programcontributor and subsequently reviews the CDET’s work toensure the curriculum can also be implemented in their region.Curriculum ImplementationAfter approval by the AOCMF international board, all resourcesrequired to implement the new program have to be definedor developed. Course and faculty support material are essentialfor launching the new curriculum. This may include: A specific course package for faculty and organizer with:implementation guide for course chairs, program templates,list of practical exercises, case library to run small groupdiscussions, standardized lecture on the AO’s History, AOCMFand AOCMF membership, faculty guides and checklists. Learning resources for participants: AO Surgery Reference,prerecorded webinars, webcasts, online videos, booksand book chapters.Specific faculty training programs can support a smoothimplementation of the new curriculum. All parties involvedin the organization of an educational event have to beinformed and briefed, as their work may also be impactedby the new curriculum.How is a new standardized program for aneducational event developed?1 atient problems and a target audience arePidentified, and the competencies developed.2L earning objectives are defined, appropriateto the intended level of outcomes.3 ppropriate educational methodsA(lectures, case discussions, practical exercises)are defined.4 Modules are built and timings proposed.5T he newly established program and supportdocuments are finalized by the internationalprogram editors for review and feedback.6T he CDET reviews existing resources andmakes a recommendation for new educationalresources (e.g. a new teaching video).7T he AOCMF international board approvesthe new program and decides on neweducational resources.8The new curriculum is piloted and thenimplemented in all regions.7
InnovationsWe are always looking ahead, spotting new and evolving medical technologies before theybecome common practice. How can tomorrow’s technologies help us to improve patientcare today? This question guides our approach in all innovation initiatives we engage in.Virtual surgical simulation —a visionof the AOApps for cognitive teaching— learningby doingHigh-tech simulation tools that are used to trainpilots and ensure appropriate knowledge and skillsto be truly safe, are now driving innovation insurgery and medical education.New technological advances offer learning outside ofthe traditional setting. Following the surgical mantra“the decision comes before the incision” AOCMF hasparticipated in the development of an app that takescognitive teaching of surgical skills to the next level.This surgery simulation app, called “Touch Surgery”,enables users to practice surgery anytime, anywhere.In the app’s training mode, surgeons can learnoperations in a step-by-step manner with 3D graphicssimulating realistic surgical environments. In testmode, users can track their results and measure theirprogress, which can also be shared with classmatesand work colleagues.AOCMF has taken a lead in assessing virtual surgicalsimulation as a means of helping junior surgeonsto learn complex medical procedures before theyundertake them on real life patients.
