Musculoskeletal Educational Resources for the Aspiring Orthopaedic Surgeon. JB & JS open access Wadhwa, H., Van Rysselberghe, N. L., Campbell, S. T., Bishop, J. A. 2022; 7 (1)

Abstract

Musculoskeletal (MSK) education is underemphasized in medical school curricula, which can lead to decreased confidence in treating MSK conditions and suboptimal performance on orthopaedic surgery elective rotations or subinternships. Given the low amount of formalized education in MSK medicine, students aiming to learn about orthopaedic surgery must gain much of their foundational knowledge from other resources. However, there are currently no centralized introductory educational resources to fill this need. We provide a framework for navigating the different types of resources available for trainees and highlight the unaddressed needs in this area.
