An audit of orthopaedic training.
The changing face of clinical practice in general, and of junior doctors' expectations in particular, will inevitably alter the length and nature of higher training. Greater awareness and tighter control of this will therefore be necessary. This analysis of the curricula vitae of 50 orthopaedic surgeons-in-training who were appointed to senior registrar posts at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, has allowed identification of the 'normal' pattern of educational achievement against which individuals may now be assessed. This has potential wide-ranging educational and financial implications.
