  • New study on arthroscopic skill evaluation

    A new study on arthroscopic skill evaluation in medical education

    • Are you a UCONN medical student, orthopedic resident, fellow or attending physician?

    If so, you are invited to participate in a pilot study for a new arthroscopic skill evaluation tool.  You will be asked to perform an arthroscopic procedure on a cadaver ankle while being observed.  You will also be asked to answer questions about yourself and your knowledge of orthopedic surgery via a short questionnaire, self-evaluation and oral examination.  The single session should last about 30-40 minutes and is held at the arthroscopy teaching laboratory in the Medical Academic Research Building (MARB).

    The study is being conducted by Lauren Geaney, MD at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UConn Health in Farmington, CT.
