Trauma and orthopaedic surgery (T&O) has the largest number of trainees of any individual surgical specialty in the UK. It is a craft-based specialty, with 'hands-on' training, based on an apprenticeship model involving operative and procedural skills. In 1992 Kenneth Calman, then Chief Medical Officer, set up a working group to reform the specialist curriculum, placing more emphasis on structured teaching, supervised learning and surgical experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
