Publication Orthopedic Residency Programs: What are Our Current Goals? An International Society of Orthopedic Centers (ISOC) Delphi Consensus(2025) Figueroa, David; Moya, Luis; Arteaga, José; Alex Vaisman; Bostrom, Mathias; Acuña, Carolina; Alesi, Domenico; Radice, Fernando; Figueroa, Francisco; Toro, Felipe; Liebergall , Meir; Stegeman, Mark; Tagil, Magnus; Lenza, Mario; Sancheti, Parag; Ranawat, Amar; Calvo, Rafael; Guiloff, Rodrigo; Robbins, Laura; Irarrazaval, Sebastian; Zaffagnini, Stefano; Jung, Tobias; Winkler, TobiasThis article presents an international consensus reached by the International Society of Orthopaedic Centers (ISOC) to establish recommendations on postgraduate orthopedic education. Using the Delphi technique, expert opinions from different regions of the world were collected and analyzed. Twenty statements were evaluated, of which 16 achieved strong consensus, 2 moderate consensus, and 2 did not reach consensus. Key recommendations include the implementation of objective metrics to assess competencies, the integration of ethical and professional standards into the curriculum, the use of high-fidelity simulations and advanced technologies such as virtual reality and telemedicine, the promotion of inclusive and non-discriminatory environments, and the establishment of quotas to ensure sufficient hands-on surgical training. The importance of balancing clinical demands with the mental health needs of residents and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration was also emphasized. The consensus aims to provide a framework for improving orthopedic residency programs, adapting them to current challenges and promoting innovation and better patient outcomes. Limitations such as variability in resources and needs between institutions are acknowledged, and it is proposed to continue with future research and adaptations to maintain the relevance of the recommendations.
