A novel orthopaedic surgery boot camp significantly boosted medical students' confidence in essential clinical and technical skills. This immersive program is recommended for future orthopaedic surgery residents to enhance their preparedness.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery Education
  • Medical Training
  • Surgical Skills Development

Background:

  • Medical school curricula offer limited orthopaedic and musculoskeletal education.
  • This educational gap inadequately prepares medical students for orthopaedic surgery sub-internships.
  • There is a need for specialized training programs like boot camps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a new orthopaedic surgery boot camp on medical students' confidence.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of didactic and skills-based training in orthopaedics.
  • To measure improvements in confidence regarding orthopaedic clinical and technical skills.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study utilizing anonymous online surveys.
  • Pre- and post-session surveys assessed confidence levels in medical students.

  • The boot camp involved a four-day immersion in orthopaedic surgery principles.

    • Main Results:

    • All sessions significantly improved participants' confidence in subject matter and skills.
    • Fourth-year medical students reported a 100% recommendation rate for the boot camp.
    • Both second-year and fourth-year medical students showed increased confidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Dedicated orthopaedic surgery boot camps enhance medical students' confidence in key topics.
    • Supervised practice and real-time feedback are crucial for skill development.
    • This boot camp model can inform longitudinal orthopaedic education for medical students.
