The objective of the present paper is to analyze the first edition of
a comprehensive shoulder course for senior orthopedic surgery residents and the
chosen evaluation tools. HYPOTHESIS: A course focusing on shoulder surgery,
requested by graduating residents in orthopedic surgery, will have a strong level
of satisfaction and help improve skills, knowledge, and problem solving abilities
in this domain as measured by a pre and post-test. METHODS: A
two-day course was created with practical sessions, lectures, and case studies.
Participants were given a multiple choice pre and post course test and evaluation
questionnaires after each session. RESULTS: Sixty residents attended the course.
Nine of the fifteen sessions scored above the 90% satisfaction cut-off; none of
the sessions scored below 80%. However, only one question showed a statistically
significant improvement after the course. DISCUSSION: Response to this course was
overwhelmingly positive and the sessions received positive evaluations. However,
the method to evaluate residents was not adequate; residents reported learning on
their freeform evaluations but this was not represented on the multiple choice
evaluation method. Evaluation tools and course duration will be modified in
future iterations to improve assessment and teaching.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
