Abstract

TELLO, Carlos et al. Encuesta dirigida a los Residentes sobre aspectos de la Residencia en Ortopedia y Traumatología. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2017, vol.82, n.2, pp.150-156. ISSN 1852-7434.

A survey was performed with 299 orthopedics residents to obtain data about entrance examination, their activities and preferences during this post-graduate period. During the Congreso de Ortopedia y Traumatología de 2015, residents belonging to Residencies approved by Asociación Argentina de Ortopedia y Traumatología received a survey form. Thirtynine percent of Residencies belongs to the province of Buenos Aires, 25% to Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, and 34.88% to the rest of the country. Private institutions run almost 26.9% of Residencies while 71.4% belongs to the public area. Almost 81% of Residencies have a 4-year- duration. Fifty-five percent of the applicants went through only one examination. Choice was based on the intense surgical practice in the 70%. Fifty-three percent felt satisfied with the accomplishment of the Residency program. Reasons for dissatisfaction were structural problems (58%), work overload (47%) and scarce academic development (41%). Staff was complete in 55% of Residencies. Resignations (56%) and lack of applicants (49%) were the main causes of incomplete Residencies. The AAOT Biannual Course was incorporated in 94% of the Residency programs. This information shows how Orthopedics and Traumatology Residency is today, but data is partial, because information about non-approved Residencies is lacking. In 2016, a new survey was carried out, and data is under analysis.
