   The content and adequacy of orthopedic surgery residency training Can be evaluated by several means. Residency programs must comply with certain standards outlined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the Residency Review Committee. If programs meet these standards, the curriculum and training offered are considered adequate and the program is accredited. Individual residents can measure their progress and training by periodic faculty evaluations required by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and by the standardized Orthopaedic In·Training Examination, which is administered yearly by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Ultimately, the individual resident's performance on the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons Board Certification Examination is a reflection of the adequacy of his or her residency training experience. Another method of evaluating the training and experience of orthopedic residents is to ask them directly how they perceive the content and ade. quacy of their residency training. A questionnaire was sent to all 698 graduating orthopedic surgery residents listed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (1996 graduates) to determine how they assess their orthopedic training.
