The AOTrauma Case Library is designed to become the primary repository of clinical cases for all of AOTrauma International in the future. In the library, cases can be searched for in different ways (depending on the user’s needs), viewed online, and downloaded to support a multitude of teaching and learning efforts.

 

The AOTrauma Case Library is currently open to all AOTrauma faculty members, and will be available to all AOTrauma members from December 2015 onwards.

How the Case Library began

An ad-hoc committee of AOTNA members developed the Case Library in 2012 and 2013. An editorial board—with representatives from all regions—formed in December 2013, to govern submissions and ensure quality. Based on the progress to date and the worldwide applicability of the resource, the AOTrauma Education Commission recently endorsed the library as the key component for searching and storing case materials for all of AOT International.

"Having a web-based library of all clinical material that is easily searched and immediately retrievable will be a great resource for all AOTrauma members, from residents-in-training to young lecturers, and even senior faculty in moderator roles. Cases can be found and presented almost instantly to support the educational outcomes required," says the project’s pioneer, Michael Baumgaertner (US).
