A mixed methods evaluation of a 4-week geriatrics curriculum in strengthening knowledge and comfort among orthopaedic surgery residents.

Background: In 2014, the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine implemented a 4-week "Orthogeriatrics" rotation for orthopaedic surgery residents. We sought to assess the rotation's impact on trainees' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours toward caring for older adults, and explore areas for improvement.

Methods: We used a mixed methods concurrent triangulation design.
