Abstract:
Orthopaedic surgery residents today train in an environment that is more receptive to technological advancements, is more diverse, and places greater emphasis both on patient safety and physician burnout than did their predecessors. Indeed, residencies have seen a larger influx of women residents entering orthopaedics compared to previous years. The use of smartphones has changed how residents seek knowledge and prepare for surgery, as well as how they remain connected to their work. Similarly, administrative pressures emphasizing value and a culture of patient safety have trickled down from staff to residents. More objective, proficiency-based approaches are increasingly supported with the use of surgical simulators, shifting away from the apprenticeship model of previous generations
