Target Audience

Needs Statement

Orthopedic healthcare providers have multifaceted educational needs spanning knowledge, competence, and performance. They require up-to-date clinical information on evolving surgical techniques, biologic principles of bone regeneration, and evidence-based guidelines to stay current in their field. Clinicians need support in translating this knowledge into practice through improved decision-making, procedural skills, and interprofessional collaboration. Furthermore, performance gaps persist due to systemic barriers such as institutional inertia and limited resources, which hinder the consistent application of best practices. To address these needs, this series will include actionable tools and strategies aimed at bridging the gap between knowledge and clinical execution. Participants will be encouraged to implement small-scale practice changes, engage in self-reflection, and use performance metrics to monitor their improvement. Long-term follow-up and feedback mechanisms will support sustained performance enhancement. Together, addressing these educational needs will support measurable improvements in clinical practice, enhance patient outcomes, and contribute to professional growth among healthcare providers.

Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, literature review, panel discussion, and audience response.

Objectives

At the conclusion of the sessions, the participants should be able to:

• Apply case-based knowledge to recognize abnormal anatomy, atypical presentations, common and novel treatment complications, while integrating insights from departmental research to support evidence-based care.
• Address systemic contributors to medical errors and complications by implementing strategies that align with institutional quality improvement and patient safety initiatives.
• Strengthen interprofessional collaboration and communication to improve care coordination, team-based decision-making, overall patient outcomes, and faculty and resident engagement in shaping research priorities and structure.
• Evaluate and select appropriate candidates for advanced orthopedic interventions using individualized risk profiles, outcomes data, and current clinical research.
• Incorporate updated surgical techniques, perioperative protocols, and multidisciplinary care strategies into daily practice to reduce complications, enhance patient safety, and optimize functional recovery.

Evaluation

Participants may be asked to complete a session evaluation.
