To investigate the impact of the Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Interest Group (OSSMIG) on medical student interest and confidence in core musculoskeletal (MSK) concepts through supplemental education and experiences at a single tertiary, academic institution.
Medical student OSSMIG members at various levels of training were anonymously surveyed at the beginning and end of the 2014-2015 academic year.
Eighteen (N=18) medical student interest group members completed the survey. Significant improvement in their level of training was observed with regard to respondents' self-assessed competence and confidence in MSK medicine (<0.05). Additionally, respondents' attitudes toward exposure and support from the interest group were significantly higher than those provided by the institution (<0.05). Members believed OSSMIG increased interest in MSK medicine, improved confidence in their ability to perform orthopedics-related physical exams, strengthened mentorship with residents and attendings, and developed a connection with the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and its residents (median "Strongly Agree", interquartile range one and two scale items).
Since its inception 8 years ago, OSSMIG has been well received and has positively impacted University of Washington School of Medicine students through various interventions. Surgical interest groups should target both the students interested in primary care and surgery. Medical schools can provide additional exposure to MSK medicine by leveraging interest groups that provide early clinical experiences and supplementary instruction.
通过在一所单一的三级学术机构提供补充教育和经历，研究骨科手术与运动医学兴趣小组（OSSMIG）对医学生对核心肌肉骨骼（MSK）概念的兴趣和信心的影响。
在2014 - 2015学年开始和结束时，对不同培训水平的医学生OSSMIG成员进行匿名调查。
18名（N = 18）医学生兴趣小组成员完成了调查。在受访者自我评估的MSK医学能力和信心方面，观察到他们的培训水平有显著提高（<0.05）。此外，受访者对兴趣小组提供的接触和支持的态度显著高于机构提供的态度（<0.05）。成员们认为OSSMIG增加了对MSK医学的兴趣，提高了他们进行骨科相关体格检查的能力的信心，加强了与住院医师和主治医生的指导关系，并与骨科手术部及其住院医师建立了联系（中位数为“强烈同意”，四分位间距为一和两个量表项目）。
自8年前成立以来，OSSMIG一直受到好评，并通过各种干预措施对华盛顿大学医学院的学生产生了积极影响。外科兴趣小组应该针对对初级保健和外科手术感兴趣的学生。医学院可以通过利用提供早期临床经验和补充教学的兴趣小组，增加对MSK医学的接触。
