The AO Education Institute delivered several presentations and posters to the 3,000 medical educators and clinicians who assembled in Glasgow for this year's conference of the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) in early September. AO's work in medical education and educational research, conducted by educational taskforces from the clinical divisions with the AO Education Institute, was presented in workshops, presentations, and posters and was very well received by participants.
