Release Date: December 31, 2022
Expiration Date: January 1, 2026
Time to Complete: 10 hours
Instructions for Participation and Credit:
In order for the participant to receive credit for taking the ESW SAE
2018, he/she must access the SAE program and read the pre-information to
the exam. The participant will next access the exam questions using a
login provided by Data Trace Management Services (DTMS). The participant
will complete the exam at his or her pace and when all questions are
answered, submit the answers for grading. After submission of the
answers, the program will require the participant to complete the
program evaluation questions. Once the evaluation questions are
submitted, the participant will receive his or her grades; references;
and certificate.
Activity Description:
The goal of the program is to evaluate a candidate’s general orthopaedic
knowledge by providing high quality questions, scoring, discussion, and
references in the following topic areas: hand, hip, upper extremity, sports medicine, total joints, spine, trauma, pain management, infection, and foot & ankle. Additionally, there will be three, three-day
programs (the EOA, SOA and WOA Annual Meetings) with specific symposia
to teach many of these topics. The SAE participants will have the option
of taking the examination either before the meeting, to assist them in
selecting specific symposia to direct their self-study efforts to those
particular topic areas in which they performed less well, or after the
meeting where they will get up-to-date information on these topic areas
on the examination. Attendance at the meeting is not required to
participate in the SAE process, since the SAE, as a standalone, will
meet all ABOS requirements for an SAE. The meetings are another aid in
advancing the physicians learning experience.
The questions will be similar to the educational content covered in
Orthopaedic Knowledge Update 10 and will be developed by academic
faculty from a number of highly regarded Orthopaedic Institutions. The
exam will be approved by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons for
SAE credit and the Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education for
Category 1 CME credit; the program will follow the below format.
1. Participants will register for the ESW 2021 SAE program, which contains a 100-question test.
2. Participants will take the examination via an electronic software
program; the majority of the test will be based on symposia topics
presented during the live program. This program will provide feedback by
allowing the candidates to view their results and progress since the
beginning of the program. The software has been programmed in the
examination mode. In the examination mode, participants answer the
questions at their leisure. Once they have finished the 100 questions,
they submit their answers all at once and receive notification by email
that they’ve completed the exam and if they passed, their CME
certificate. They can download the correct answers with related
commentary and references. The program helps the participants develop
life-long learning. Not only will they receive the correct answers to
all the questions, but the participants will also understand why their
answers were incorrect by reviewing the commentary and references
provided in support of each answer.
3. As the ESW 2018 SAE program will be available for three years, each
association participant (EOA, SOA and WOA) may attend the three-day
Annual Meetings, during which symposia will be presented covering most
of the topics in the SAE. Attending these symposia will strengthen the
participant’s knowledge of specific areas, and as noted above, can be
used as a self-study review prior to the examination, or a focused
self-study effort following the examination to address areas of poor
performance. However, like other SAE programs, attendance is not
required as it is a standalone program.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, the participants will be able to:
1. Identify areas of study on which they should focus.
2. Evaluate specific knowledge gaps.
3. Identify performance strengths and weaknesses.
4. Improve knowledge area and performance.
Target Audience:
The educational program is designed for orthopaedic and trauma surgeons.
Accreditation Statement:
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the
accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for
Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of
Foundation for Orthopaedic Research & Education (FORE) and Eastern,
Southern and Western Orthopaedic Associations. The Foundation for
Orthopaedic Research & Education is accredited by the ACCME to
provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Designation Statement:
FORE designates this internet enduring educational activity for a
maximum of 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only
the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the
activity.
Faculty List:
Current guidelines state that the participants in CME activities
should be made aware of any affiliation or financial interests that may
affect the speaker's presentation and/or the discussion of off-label
therapies. Each speaker has been requested to complete a faculty
disclosure statement. The names of speakers declaring potential conflict
of interests or those who will be discussing any off-label,
experimental or investigational use of drugs or devices in their
presentations will be printed in the course syllabus.
