Perceptions of readiness for independent practice among graduating orthopedic surgery residents in Ontario in the last 30 years
A substantial proportion of orthopedic graduates reported not feeling comfortable entering practice directly out of residency, with only 62.8% of participants reporting feeling ready for independent practice after graduation. Furtermore, graduates are incurring a significant opportunity cost completing 1 or often 2 fellowships. These findings necessitate an appraisal of our goals in residency education.
