Abstract

The mission statements of most orthopedic departments in the country that train residents place value on the delivery of excellent patient care, education of young physicians, and discovery of new medical knowledge. Faculty must now make extra time and effort to be educators. It no longer can be just part of the system of patient care. Current surgical faculty are under pressures that have strained the traditional apprenticeship model of surgical education. These include pressures to bill and see more patients, emphasis on patient safety and quality, increased role of mid-level providers, and loss of resident experiences in less supervised hospital environments that affect education. Faculty must now make extra time and effort to be educators. It no longer can be just part of the system of patient care. Surgical faculty members must develop teaching skills in several important and varied environments. Some faculty are skilled educators in one area but have more difficulty in others. A variety of resources exist for orthopedic surgical faculty educators. Faculty development has and will continue to become an increasingly important part of educational programs.
