Qualitative Study of Orthopedic Surgery Milestones 1.0: Burdens and Benefits

While some benefits were noted and most programs appreciated the intent, the structure and design of the initial set of orthopedic surgery Milestones created substantial challenges for these programs. The results of this study helped guide a revision of the Orthopedic Surgery Milestones. These results can also be used by program leadership to encourage reflection around past, current, and future utilization of the Milestones framework. Further research will be needed to determine the impact of the revision on programs.
