The Transition to Practice from Residency and Fellowship

There is currently no standard method or time requirement devoted to the teaching of practice management in orthopaedic residency, but there is widespread agreement that it is a necessary part of orthopaedic education.Overall, there are 3 major components to an effective transition-to-practice model: mock independent practice, appropriate feedback and oversight, and consistent exposure.An overarching theme is the importance of debriefing by senior faculty, coupled with mock practice scenarios.
