Motor Skills Training in Orthopedic Sports Medicine

Abstract

The key aspects of a course designed for teaching motor skills in orthopeadic sports medicine are (1) Planning a course that sets out to teach skills that are relevant and obtainable for a specific, targeted group of surgeons. (2) Providing an appealing and educationally speaking ‘safe’ space that is suitably equipped and staffed and available for a long enough period of time to provide for adequate deliberate practice. (3) Ensuring that delegates are provided with constructive personalised real-time feedback throughout the course and that feedback is obtained from the delegates and acted upon by the course organisers and faculty. (4) Striving to make the whole experience an ultimately enjoyable one for all involved.
