AO Trauma Basic & Board Review Course

[Kierstin Bonning]

Good morning, all.

Does your program cover the cost of the AO Trauma Basic Course and/or a Board review course?  If so which ones and how much is covered per resident?

Thank you so much!

University of Iowa covers AO in R2 year up to $2500. We also cover Miller Review in R5 year up to $3000. Overages can come out of their discretionary funds, which they get $4000 to use over the course of their residency.

We send our PGY2s to AO Trauma Basic and pay all expenses associated with the course – registration, flight, lodging, per diem, ground transportation. We also send our PGY5s to AAOS and pay all expenses. In addition, we pay for the AAOS Board Review Course for our PGY5s. It is a virtual course, so we just pay for registration for that course.

 

Thank you,

Robin

Thank you all so much for all the responses!!  Question for Jessica, is the $4000.00 discretionary funds the same as their educational funds or addition to?  Our residents have $2000.00 per year in educational funds for reimbursement for books, conferences, loupes, etc.

Thanks so much.
