Summary
Orthopaedic residents prioritize electronic resources like Orthobullets for their education. While study habits are consistent, preferences for journals and platforms vary by sex and training year.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery Education
- Medical Training Resources
- Resident Education
Background:
- Over 3,300 orthopaedic residents train in the U.S. across 150+ programs.
- Little is known about residents' preferred educational resources.
- Understanding resident resource prioritization is crucial for effective training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the educational resource preferences of orthopaedic residents nationwide.
- To identify key resources utilized by residents during their training.
Main Methods:
- An 18-question survey was administered via REDCap to orthopaedic residents.
- Data collected from 374 respondents were analyzed.
- Responses were stratified by sex, location, and postgraduate year.
Main Results:
- Orthobullets was the most valued resource; general review articles were the top journal resource.
- Female residents prioritized specialty-specific and research journals more than males.
- Platform usage varied: VuMedi increased with training year, while YouTube was more popular for early-stage residents.
Conclusions:
- Orthopaedic residents consistently use electronic resources such as Orthobullets.
- Educational resource utilization is influenced by sex, training year, and geographic region.
- Industry-sponsored resources are utilized but not the primary focus for residents.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

1.0K
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

17.5K
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...
