Orthopaedic surgery education is in a rapid state of evolution. "Proposals for Change in Orthopaedic Education: Recommendations from an Orthopaedic Residency Directors’ Peer Forum" by Robbins et al. (2010;92:245-9) brings up challenges in four major areas: work-hour restrictions, core orthopaedic knowledge, effective benchmarking programs, and generational differences. As a new Orthopaedic Educator at McMaster University, I am striving to maximize resident learning. Recently, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC), like the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), has mandated teaching residents how to teach, which could help to address the challenges above1.
