Teaching of Cost-Effective Care in Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Training: A Survey of Residency Programs in the US.

There is not consistent education in cost-effective care for orthopaedic surgery program leadership, faculty, or trainees. The results of this survey demonstrate a need for discussion of best practices, including increasing access to cost data at a local level, and engaging with the AOA, CORD, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons more broadly in the development of standard education modules for faculty and residents, to improve the current and future delivery of cost-effective musculoskeletal care.
