“…However, this difference was not found to be significant. 3 Residents reported Orthobullets as their overall most valued resource (57.1%) in various aspects of their training. It is reported as the most common resource used for case preparation (53.1%) and most commonly used to stay up to date on literature (93.0%).…”

“…15 However, a previous survey study of residents found JBJS Clinical Classroom to have a higher self-reported subjective score (scale from 0 to 5) compared with Orthobullets in usefulness for improved medical knowledge (4.1 versus 3.0) and usefulness for OITE preparation (3.6 versus 2.5). 3 No literature was identified that evaluated the effect of these learning platforms on ABOS Part I success rate.…”

“…1 But more recently, online resources have become increasingly used by medical trainees with continued technological advancement and familiarity. 2,3 Specifically within orthopaedic surgery, numerous electronic learning platforms are now available, in addition to standard teaching methods. As a result, residency leadership has many options in designing their resident educational curriculum.…”

Innovations in orthopaedic resident educational resources and evaluation tools are essential to ensuring appropriate training and ultimately the graduation of competent orthopaedic surgeons. In recent years, there have been several advancements in comprehensive educational platforms within orthopaedic surgery. Orthobullets PASS, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Clinical Classroom, and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery Resident Orthopaedic Core Knowledge each have their own unique advantages in preparation for the Orthopaedic In-Training Examination and American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery board certification examinations. In addition, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Milestones 2.0 and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Knowledge Skills Behavior program each provide objective assessment of resident core competencies. Understanding and using these new platforms will help orthopaedic residents, faculty, residency programs, and program leadership to best train and evaluate their residents.

“…[8][9][10] Interestingly, only 6% of residents report using journals as their primary study resource, but journals were also rated by the same group of surveyed residents as the most useful for preparation for the OITE. 7 In contrast to reading journals, Theismann et al 7 report that most residents use Orthobullets (53%), ResStudy (26%), JBJS Clinical Classroom (3%), textbooks (8%), or other resources (4%) in preparation for the OITE. The preference toward utilization of online learning platforms for OITE preparation is supported by program directors, 85% of which recommend the use of Orthobullets and 65.7% recommend the use of ResStudy.…”

“…Only a minority of residents use journal reading as their primary learning material. 7 Prior analyses of the trauma section of the OITE were published greater than 10 years ago and studied the OITE between 2004 and 2009. [8][9][10] These prior studies analyze questions preceding the conversion to a computer-based examination in 2009, which expanded the opportunity to include more advanced imaging and videos as part of the examination and thus could have influenced the examination content and the types of images included.…”

Analysis of Orthopaedic In-Training Examination Trauma Questions: 2017 to 2021

et al. 2023

Introduction:The Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (OITE) is a multiple-choice examination developed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annually since 1963 to assess orthopaedic residents' knowledge. This study's purpose is to analyze the 2017 to 2021 OITE trauma questions to aid orthopaedic residents preparing for the examination.Methods:The 2017 to 2021 OITEs on American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' ResStudy were retrospectively reviewed to identify trauma questions. Question topic, references, and images were analyzed. Two independent reviewers classified each question by taxonomy.Results:Trauma represented 16.6% (204/1,229) of OITE questions. Forty-nine percent of trauma questions included images (100/204), 87.0% (87/100) of which contained radiographs. Each question averaged 2.4 references, of which 94.9% were peer-reviewed articles and 46.8% were published within 5 years of the respective OITE. The most common taxonomic classification was T1 (46.1%), followed by T3 (37.7%) and T2 (16.2%).Discussion:Trauma represents a notable portion of the OITE. Prior OITE trauma analyses were published greater than 10 years ago. Since then, there has been an increase in questions with images and requiring higher cognitive processing. The Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma (24.7%), Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (10.1%), and Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, American Volume (9.3%) remain the most cited sources.

This allows for blended learning and flipped classroom opportunities for the reduced in-person didactic time that orthopaedic surgical faculty have with residents today. Exam preparation for the Orthopaedic In-Training Exam (OITE) and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons (ABOS) is now very commonly done with online platforms. Journal club activities have also shifted to the virtual space; podcasts provide a new way to learn when on the go, and virtual and augmented reality technologies are starting to make their way into surgical training. Evidence for these learning methods is steadily growing, although more extensive studies are needed to determine their efficacy. This review will assess the evidence available for these online education methods in orthopaedic surgery.
