Rotation Specific Objectives

The following documents are intended to guide the resident in some of the specific knowledge and skills they should develop on this rotation. These documents are intended to augment but not replace the "Objectives of Training and Specialty Training Requirements in Orthopedic Surgery" and the "Specific Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Orthopedic Surgery." A copy of these documents is supplied in the residency handbook and is also available on the Royal College website.

The resident is expected to be able to describe the rotation specific objectives prior to or at the commencement of the rotation.

It is understood that a residency in Orthopaedics is a continuum. Senior residents will be able to meet the same objectives as junior residents as well as the senior objectives.

The documents listed above are presented in PDF format. You will need Adobe Reader to successfully view PDF documents. If you do not have Adobe Reader already installed on your computer, you can download the installer and instructions free from the Adobe web site.
