Analysis of the Sports Medicine Section of the Orthopaedic In-Training Examination: Improvements in Levels of Evidence and Question Taxonomy Over a 12-Year Period.

This study indicated that sports medicine questions on recent OITEs cite references of higher levels of evidence and contain higher taxonomic question structure than examinations 10 to 12 years ago. However, the majority of questions still cite articles with low levels of evidence or nonprimary sources. These findings can be used to guide resident education and continue improvements in the selection of references for questions on the Sports Medicine section of the OITE.
