The Effect of a Flipped Classroom Didactic Curriculum on Orthopaedic In-Training Examination Scores for a Resident Cohort.

Introduction: There is little research on the efficacy of flipped classroom (FC) models of learning in formal orthopaedic didactic curricula. The primary aim of this study was to compare resident Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (OITE) scores before and after implementation of an FC curriculum at a single academic institution.

Methods: An FC didactic model consisting of 3 hour-long weekly sessions focusing on highly tested topics was implemented for the start of the 2021 to 2022 academic year.
