Determination of Quality in Training Programs Based on Outcomes and Data
AbstractPurpose of ReviewMeasuring quality of surgical training programs is fundamental in recruitment, program improvement, and accreditation. There are several resources available that can provide useful data and information for programs, medical students, and preliminary residents to evaluate program quality. The purpose of this review is to summarize both public and private data.Recent FindingsPrivately available data largely consist of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) resident and faculty surveys, Letter of Notification, and Case Log reports as well as the American Board of Surgery (ABS) In...

In the 1960s, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand embarked on an endeavor to improve and standardize the educational experience in hand surgery. By the 1980s, numerous programs existed across the country with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education formally recognizing orthopedic surgery –based fellowships in 1985 and plastic surgery–based fellowships in 1986. In order to sit for what was then termed the Certificate of Additional Qualification examination, applicants had to demonstrate performance of a specific number of procedures while in practice.

Standardizing Resident Assessment and Competency —Milestones Matter
Smith et al present findings from an observational cohort study of early-career vascular surgeons and patient outcomes following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), where lower mean Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestone ratings were associated with major complications in early surgical practice. Milestone ratings were corrected for program effect using a deviation score from the program mean and surgeon performance was assessed controlling for patient-level and health care professional –level covariates. Of note, this association was limited to those programs with lower program-level mea...

Performance of Two Artificial Intelligence Generative Language Models on the Orthopaedic In-Training Examination
CONCLUSION: There is significant variability in the accuracy of publicly available AI models on the OITE. AI generative language software may play numerous potential roles in the future in orthopedic education, including simulating patient presentations and clinical scenarios, customizing individual learning plans, and driving evidence-based case discussion. Further research and collaboration within the orthopedic community is required to safely adopt these tools and minimize risks associated with their use.
