title: Computer corner #13. Computerized examinations in orthopaedics.
abstract: Computerized examinations can play an important role in the evaluation and education of trainees in orthopaedics. Several centers in the United States and Canada are currently using these, thus allowing an exchange of examination questions. Once a system is set up, only minimal involvement on the part of the instructor and office staff is required. All participants--trainees and instructors--can benefit from computerized examinations.
