Gross, MD, OMeGA Medical Grants Association board member. “These programs are to be commended for their creativity.” The following programs and projects will receive funding:

  • Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia—Develop and validate a distal radius fracture reduction and casting simulator; integrate fracture reduction simulation into the curriculum
  • McMaster University—Determine whether performance on the objective structured clinical exam correlates and/or predicts performance on in-training evaluations
  • New York University—Educate, assess, and remediate residents in professionalism, cultural competency, communication skills, and clinical skills
  • Ohio State University—Enhance anatomy education with year-round study tool
  • Oregon Health and Science University—New microsurgery training curriculum with live rat models
  • San Francisco General Hospital Foundation—Pilot a structured, blinded assessment of orthopaedic trauma skills using an ankle fracture model and video assessment
  • University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics—Continue to develop other fracture models and incorporate the electromagnetic motion capture system for further assessment
  • University of Rochester Medical Center—Validate the Arthroscopic Surgery Skill Evaluation Tool for arthroscopic competency evaluation
  • Wake Forest University School of Medicine—Treat trauma patients with complex fractures using three-dimensional physical models
