AOPEER leverages these trusted resources, which were developed and evaluated by the AOPEER Taskforce with the support of AO Clinical Investigation and Documentation (AOCID) and the AO Education Institute (AOEI). This live demonstration of the platform (www.aopeer.org) will introduce you to the concept of AOPEER and present relevant eLearning modules from developing your research question up to publication of results.
