Introduction There is a substantial need for orthopaedic surgery-specific boot camps due to the limited orthopaedic and musculoskeletal education in medical school, which inadequately prepares medical students for their orthopaedic surgery sub-internships. The aim of this study is to identify the impact of the novel orthopaedic surgery boot camp on medical students' confidence with key orthopaedic topics. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an anonymous online survey distributed to medical students attending the novel orthopaedic surgery boot camp. The boot camp consisted of a four-day immersion course into the basics of orthopaedic surgery principles through both didactic and skills-based educational series. The medical students' confidence in orthopaedic surgery clinical and technical skills were assessed by comparing the students' survey responses before and after attending each of the sessions. Results Twelve fourth-year medical students and 15 second-year medical students attended the boot camp. All the sessions attended by the medical students were statistically significant in improving their confidence in the subject matter and skills-based training. Hundred percent (100%) of the fourth-year medical students recommend future orthopaedic surgery-bound medical students to attend this boot camp. Conclusion A dedicated orthopaedic surgery boot camp focused on clinical and technical skills plays a key role in increasing medical students' confidence with key orthopaedic topics by providing an opportunity to practice these skills in a supervised environment with real-time feedback. This novel boot camp can provide a framework for creating a longitudinal course for medical students to augment the musculoskeletal education taught in medical school education.
引言
由于医学院校中骨科和肌肉骨骼方面的教育有限，无法让医学生为骨科手术实习做好充分准备，因此对特定于骨科手术的新兵训练营有很大需求。本研究的目的是确定新型骨科手术新兵训练营对医学生在关键骨科主题方面信心的影响。
方法
采用横断面研究，通过向参加新型骨科手术新兵训练营的医学生发放匿名在线调查问卷进行。新兵训练营包括一个为期四天的沉浸式课程，通过理论教学和技能培训系列传授骨科手术原则的基础知识。通过比较医学生参加各课程前后的调查回复，评估他们对骨科手术临床和技术技能的信心。
结果
12名四年级医学生和15名二年级医学生参加了新兵训练营。医学生参加的所有课程在提高他们对主题和技能培训的信心方面均具有统计学意义。100%的四年级医学生建议未来有志于从事骨科手术的医学生参加这个新兵训练营。
结论
一个专注于临床和技术技能的专门骨科手术新兵训练营，通过提供在有实时反馈的监督环境中练习这些技能的机会，在增强医学生对关键骨科主题的信心方面发挥着关键作用。这个新型新兵训练营可以为创建一个针对医学生的纵向课程提供框架，以加强医学院校教育中所教授的肌肉骨骼方面的教育。
