Multicenter Study
A Prospective Multicenter Evaluation of the Value of the On-Call Orthopedic Resident.
Funding for graduate medical education is at risk despite the services provided by residents. ⋯ The potential monetary value generated by on-call orthopedic surgery residents is substantial.

Physicians need to rapidly and effectively facilitate patient-centered, shared decision-making (SDM) conversations, but little is known about how residents or attending physicians acquire this skill. ⋯ A constellation of factors may diminish opportunities for residents to acquire and practice SDM skills. Further research should explore residents' perspectives, address the modifiable obstacles identified, and examine whether these issues generalize to other specialties.

Programmatic assessment is the intentional collection of key data from multiple sources for both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. ⋯ The implementation of programmatic assessment allowed our program to organize diverse, multisourced feedback to drive both formative and summative assessments.

Team-based learning (TBL) is an active learning strategy with descriptions of its use in resident education limited to pilot studies. ⋯ Implementing a comprehensive medical knowledge curriculum using TBL in an internal medicine residency was feasible, and resulted in high faculty acceptance and learner satisfaction. Departmental support of a TBL champion, flexible faculty development, and well-designed resource materials were determinants of success.
