Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Early surgical exposure and mentorship are vital in medical education.
  • A gap exists in understanding early orthopaedic exposure's impact on diverse students.
  • Disparities in early orthopaedic experiences among medical students require examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing early orthopaedic exposure and interest among medical students.
  • To identify disparities in early exposure and mentorship opportunities based on demographics.

Main Methods:

  • A 16-item questionnaire was administered to fourth-year medical students and first-year orthopaedic residents.
  • Data collected on initial orthopaedic exposures and influencing factors.
  • Two-proportion Z-test and thematic analysis were used for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 83% encountered orthopaedics before medical school via family, athletics, or prior experiences.
  • Significant disparities observed in mentor access and early exposure opportunities between demographic groups.
  • White and male participants reported greater access to mentors and surgeon interactions than non-white and non-male participants.

Conclusions:

  • Early orthopaedic exposure is critical for shaping career interest.
  • Addressing disparities in mentorship and exposure requires systemic changes and support for underrepresented minorities.
  • Targeted initiatives, including mentorship and research, can promote inclusivity and a diverse orthopaedic workforce.
