Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Rotations and Correlation With Orthopaedic In-Training Examination Performance
The Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (OITE) is administered annually and is used to assess medical knowledge of orthopedic surgery residents. Beginning in the 2013 to 2014 academic year, the ACGME expanded the postgraduate year (PGY)-1 curriculum from 3 to 6 months of orthopedic surgery rotations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of increased PGY-1 orthopedic surgery exposure on medical knowledge as measured by the OITE. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)

Gelatin Thoracic Paravertebral Teaching Model for Placement of a Continuous Infusion Catheter in the Extrathoracic Paravertebral Space
Our aim was to develop an ultrasound-guided training curriculum for continuous infusion catheter placement in the paravertebral space and to create a gelatin thoracic spine-rib model for use in this training. We sought to create a model that was inexpensive and reusable such that multiple participants could use one model during training. (Source: Journal of Surgical Education)
