The Reno Orthopaedic Center (ROC) Trauma Fellowship business curriculum is designed to provide the fellow with a graduate level business practicum and research experience. The time commitments in a typical 12-month trauma fellowship are significant, rendering a traditional didactic master's in business administration difficult to complete during this short time. An organized, structured, practical business education can provide the trauma leaders of tomorrow with the knowledge and experience required to effectively navigate the convoluted and constantly changing healthcare system. The underlying principle throughout the curriculum is to provide the fellow with the practical knowledge to participate in cost-efficient improvements in healthcare delivery. Through the ROC Trauma Fellowship business curriculum, the fellow will learn that delivering healthcare in a manner that provides better outcomes for equal or lower costs is not only possible but a professional and ethical responsibility. However, instilling these values without providing actionable knowledge and programs would be insufficient and ineffective. For this reason, the core of the curriculum is based on individual teaching sessions with a wide array of hospital and private practice administrators. In addition, each section is equipped with a suggested reading list to maximize the learning experience. Upon completion of the curriculum, the fellow should be able to: (1) Participate in strategic planning at both the hospital and practice level based on analysis of financial and clinical data, (2) Understand the function of healthcare systems at both a macro and micro level, (3) Possess the knowledge and skills to be strong leaders and effective communicators in the business lexicon of healthcare, (4) Be a partner and innovator in the improvement of the delivery of orthopaedic services, (5) Combine scientific and strategic viewpoints to provide an evidence-based strategy for improving quality of care in a cost-efficient manner, (6) Understand the political, economic, and strategic basics of private practice orthopaedics.
里诺骨科中心（ROC）创伤研究员商业课程旨在为研究员提供研究生水平的商业实践和研究经验。在典型的 12 个月创伤研究员中，时间投入非常大，以至于在这么短的时间内完成传统的工商管理硕士课程变得非常困难。有组织、结构化、实用的商业教育可以为未来的创伤学领导者提供必要的知识和经验，以有效地应对复杂且不断变化的医疗保健系统。整个课程的基本原则是为研究员提供参与高效改善医疗服务的实用知识。通过 ROC 创伤研究员商业课程，研究员将了解到以提供更好的结果而成本更低的方式提供医疗保健不仅是可能的，而且是专业和道德责任。然而，如果不提供可行的知识和计划就灌输这些价值观是不够的，也是无效的。出于这个原因，课程的核心是基于与医院和私人诊所管理人员的一系列个别教学课程。此外，每个部分都配备了一个建议的阅读清单，以最大限度地提高学习体验。完成课程后，研究员应该能够：（1）根据财务和临床数据分析，在医院和实践层面参与战略规划；（2）了解宏观和微观层面的医疗保健系统功能；（3）拥有在医疗保健业务词汇中成为强大领导者和有效沟通者的知识和技能；（4）成为改善骨科服务提供的合作伙伴和创新者；（5）结合科学和战略观点，以经济高效的方式提供改善护理质量的循证策略；（6）了解私人执业骨科的政治、经济和战略基础。
