Organization
AO CMF Governance Structure - August 2019 The AO CMF International Board is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the strategy, and all the functions and activities, of the AO CMF Clinical Division globally.
On a regional level, the five Regional Boards (Asia Pacific, Europe and Southern Africa, Middle East and Northern Africa, Latin America, and North America) are responsible for planning the full range of activities in the field of education. Moreover, they provide regional input to the respective commissions for community development and research.
