SE50: Orthopaedic journal publications and their role in the preparation for the Orthopaedic In-Training Exam (OITE)
“Presented by David R. Marker, BS, with co-authors Dawn LaPorte, MD; Thorsten M. Seyler, MD; Mike S. McGrath, MD; Slif D. Ulrich, MD; and Michael A. Mont, MD. This exhibit makes the case that focusing on core journals rather than subspecialty journals is recommended for residents preparing for the OITE.”
“Because of the continually emerging complexities in this field, it has become increasingly important to evaluate the training of orthopaedic residents in order to ensure that their education and understanding of hand surgery is adequate prior to graduation and possible application for fellowship.”
“The primary questions in the present study were: (1) What literature should be recommended to orthopaedic residents who are receiving training and instruction regarding hand surgery and are preparing for their board examinations? and (2) How well does the current scientific literature correspond to the content tested in the OITE? More specifically, we asked six questions: (1) What is the content of the hand-related OITE questions? (2) What journals have the highest percentage of their hand-related studies referenced for the hand questions on the OITE? (3) Are the OITE questions and the content in high-impact clinical orthopaedic journals similar in terms of the overall proportion of articles and/or questions that are hand-related? (4) Is the content of the questions similar to that of the hand-related articles with respect to anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment? (5) Is the hand-related content in the orthopaedic journals similar? and (6) What textbooks are most frequently recommended for OITE hand-related content?”
