TY - JOUR T1 - Proposals for Change in Orthopaedic Education: Recommendations from an Orthopaedic Residency Directors’ Peer Forum AU - Robbins, Laura AU - Bostrom, Mathias AU - Craig, Edward AU - Sculco, Thomas P.

The Dreyfus developmental model that takes the learner from novice to master is well suited for a five-year training program and, like similar models, should incorporate electronic education media and other state-of-the-art evaluation tools that help teachers and learners benchmark education outcomes. Orthopaedic surgery programs continue to discuss the efficacy of evaluation and outcomes, and we could not agree more that now is the time for action.
