• ABSTRACT
    • Orthopaedic surgery fellowship provides an opportunity to further develop skills in a particular subspecialty. However, the condensed time frame, complex skill acquisition, and clinical demands require efficient and effective learning techniques to achieve mastery. As with any advanced task, success during fellowship training can be achieved with active participation and a goal-directed approach. Skill acquisition can be successfully achieved by following a framework that includes preparation, execution, and reflection for every surgical case.
