➤:
Orthopaedic education should produce surgeons who are competent to function independently and can obtain and maintain board certification.
➤:
Contemporary orthopaedic training programs exist within a fixed 5-year time frame, which may not be a perfect match for each trainee.
➤:
Most modern orthopaedic residencies have not yet fully adopted objective, proficiency-based, surgical skill training methods despite nearly 2 decades of evidence supporting the use of this methodology.
➤:
Competency-based medical education backed by surgical simulation rooted in proficiency-based progression has the potential to address surgical skill acquisition challenges in orthopaedic surgery.
