Revolutionizing Orthopaedic Residency Training with Dr. J. Lawrence Marsh: From Time-Based to Competency-Based Education

Lessons in Orthopaedic Leadership: An AOA Podcast

Unlock the future of orthopaedic residency training as Dr. Douglas W. Lundy sits down with Dr. J. Lawrence Marsh, a leading voice in the field and chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Dr. Marsh shares a treasure trove of insights on the paradigm shift from a time-based to a competency-based education system, already gaining momentum in countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK. Listen to Dr. Marsh's firsthand experience and wisdom on what these changes mean for the next generation of orthopaedic residents in the US and how they are set to revolutionize medical training.
Discover the intriguing challenges of granting more independence to exceptionally skilled surgical residents and how this can widen the competency gap between them and their peers. We explore the logistical and operational hurdles in transitioning to a competency-based training system and why a well-defined curriculum is critical. Organizations like the ACGME and orthopaedic boards are taking significant steps to implement this new framework, and we discuss the delicate balance needed to integrate competency-based attributes within the traditional time-based structure.
Stay ahead of the curve with the latest advancements in residency training, particularly through practice-based assessments and real-time evaluations using mobile technology. These innovations promise to significantly enhance skill acquisition and feedback, generating vast amounts of data to improve training standards. From basic models to cutting-edge VR simulations, we delve into the essential role of technology in preparing residents for complex surgical tasks. Finally, we contemplate the external forces driving rapid transformation in medical education, emphasizing the urgency for change within the next three years. Join us for an enlightening conversation that promises to reshape the future of orthopaedic education.
