Most higher orthopaedic trainees do not plan full-time research, unlike general surgery trainees. However, those who do find research stimulating and well-supervised, viewing it as a positive choice.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Surgical Training
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Higher surgical degrees are standard for general surgery senior registrars.
  • Orthopaedic surgery training pathways differ regarding research requirements.
  • Higher training in surgery encompasses registrars and senior registrars.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the attitudes and experiences of orthopaedic surgery trainees regarding full-time research.
  • To compare research participation and perceptions in orthopaedic surgery with general surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A confidential questionnaire was administered to 50 registrars and senior registrars in the North East Thames Region.
  • The questionnaire focused on intentions for, and experiences with, full-time research periods.

  • Data collected included reasons for research intentions and views on educational value and supervision.

    • Main Results:

    • 56% of higher orthopaedic trainees do not expect to undertake full-time research.
    • Only 28% had completed research, and 16% intended to pursue it.
    • Those with research experience reported high satisfaction with supervision and found it stimulating.

    Conclusions:

    • Full-time research is viewed as a positive choice by orthopaedic trainees, not a mandatory hurdle.
    • Orthopaedic trainees feel well-supervised and find research exposure satisfying.
    • This contrasts with the perceived necessity of research for general surgery trainees.
