Background Orthopaedic surgery residency has one of the lowest percentages of women (13.1%) of all primary surgical specialties. There are many possible reasons for this, including bias during the selection process. Questions/purposes We therefore asked whether performance during residency might adversely bias the selection of future female orthopaedic residents by researching whether males and females perform equally in orthopaedic surgery residency. Methods Ninety-seven residents enrolled in our residency between 1999 and 2009; six males and one female left the program, leaving 90 residents (73 males, 17 females) as the study cohort. Resident performance was compared for OITE scores, ABOS results, faculty evaluations, and in a resident graduate survey. Results Males and females had similar faculty evaluations in all ACGME competency areas. Males and females had similar mean OITE scores for Years 2-5 of residency, although males had higher mean scores at Years 3 through 5. Males and females had similar mean ABOS Part 1 scores and ABOS Part 1 pass rates; however, fewer males than females took more than one attempt to pass. Males and females had similar Part 2 pass rates or attempts. For the 45 resident graduates surveyed, females pursued fellowships equally to males, worked slightly less hours in practice, and reported higher satisfaction with their career choice. Conclusions For the 90 residents at one residency program, we observed no differences between males' and females' performance. Although females pursue orthopaedic residency less frequently than males, performance during residency should not bias their future selection.

“…It has been shown previously that exposure to surgical cases in the operating room correlates both with student interest in surgery 14 and selection of a career in surgery. 15 Most of our students would be able to scrub and gown in the operating room, and collectively students participated in a total of 62 surgeries during the 3-month elective period. Previous research has found that, from the student's perspective, factors related to the surgical attending, including he or she serving as a positive role model, providing a friendly tone in the operating room, and direct interaction and teaching with the student, are the factors most influential toward the student's learning experience in the operating room.…”

: Suturing is an essential surgical skill for clinical residents. However, acquiring on-the-job training and practice for this skill is becoming dif cult due to the growing awareness of patients rights and safety. Thus, training clinicians get most of their suturing practice on simulators that use artificial compounds such as urethane that generally do not adequately represent real-life tactile sensation. Since 2011, we have therefore conducted an annual surgical skill-up seminar using swine skin, stomach, intestine, and blood vessels for clinical residents of Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital. This seminar is held on an autumn Saturday afternoon at Terumo Medical Pranex in Nakai-cho, Ashigarakami-gun, Kanagawa, in collaboration with the Department of Medical Education, Digestive Disease Center and other surgical departments. We have thus far trained 92 participants 52 clinical residents and 40 surgical physicians in total in the following areas : skin suturing, tracheotomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, organ anastomosis stomach to small intestine , and vascular anastomosis. A post-practice unsigned questionnaire revealed an af rmative self-assessment rating of approximately 95% regarding the seminar contents. Most participants were satis ed with the group setting, but not satis ed with the 3.5-hour training time. Although hosting this wetlab training seminar using biological models requires a signi cant budget and manpower, it has successfully provided a valuable learning opportunity on basic surgical skills for clinical residents.
