Abstract
Objective: Management of osteoarticular infections (OAI) represents a major public health challenge. To deal with this, the French Ministry of Health created the Complex Osteoarticular Infections Referral Centers (CRIOAC) in 2008. CRIOAC functions as a national network of reference centers for OAI, with the aim of coordinating, providing expertise, offering training, and conducting research at the regional level. Through multidisciplinary team meetings (MTM-CRIOAC), experts discuss complex OAI cases and formulate optimal treatment decisions. This study aims to evaluate the perception of the teaching potential of MTM-CRIOAC among orthopedic residents and identify potential areas for improvement.
Methods: To conduct this cross-sectional study a validated questionnaire was distributed to orthopedic residents who participated in said meetings to evaluate their perceptions and benefit. Opinions were then collected using a Likert scale for further evaluation.
Results: Results showed that (75%) found MTM useful for training, and (71%) considered it appropriate for teaching. The majority (84%) reported acquiring valuable skills, with (78%) emphasizing knowledge about complex osteoarticular infections. Residents recommended integrating more classes, active engagement, and thorough case summaries for improvement. Notably, 94% recommended MTM participation for colleagues. The study highlights MTMs' potential in medical education, enhancing clinical skills and collaborative healthcare practices among orthopedic residents.
Conclusion: Previous studies have shown that MTM-CRIOACs have improved patient outcomes. However, the literature has not yet addressed the potential teaching opportunities that MTM-CRIOACs could provide to residents. The study shows that these meetings offer grounds for teaching, enrichment of clinical judgment, professionalism, and collaborative skills of orthopedic residents.
期刊介绍:
GMS Journal for Medical Education (GMS J Med Educ) – formerly GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung – publishes scientific articles on all aspects of undergraduate and graduate education in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and other health professions. Research and review articles, project reports, short communications as well as discussion papers and comments may be submitted. There is a special focus on empirical studies which are methodologically sound and lead to results that are relevant beyond the respective institution, profession or country. Please feel free to submit qualitative as well as quantitative studies. We especially welcome submissions by students. It is the mission of GMS Journal for Medical Education to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge in the German-speaking countries as well as internationally and thus to foster the improvement of teaching and learning and to build an evidence base for undergraduate and graduate education. To this end, the journal has set up an editorial board with international experts. All manuscripts submitted are subjected to a clearly structured peer review process. All articles are published bilingually in English and German and are available with unrestricted open access. Thus, GMS Journal for Medical Education is available to a broad international readership. GMS Journal for Medical Education is published as an unrestricted open access journal with at least four issues per year. In addition, special issues on current topics in medical education research are also published. Until 2015 the journal was published under its German name GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung. By changing its name to GMS Journal for Medical Education, we wish to underline our international mission.
