Program Education, Accreditation, and Leadership (PEAL) Forum Agenda

The PEAL forum will take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024, 8:00am – 9:00am CT.

Registration is now open.

Program Chair: Afshin E. Razi, MD, FAOA

For new program directors, associate program directors, osteopathic program directors, general faculty, and anyone interested in or involved with resident education, this course provides education to satisfy fundamental faculty development needs. The course runs on a three-year cycle, designed to follow the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) competency template of Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviors. One of these three elements will be covered annually in each short course, so that it will be comprehensive over three years. For 2024, the theme is Behaviors. The three Behaviors sessions below provide a focused and comprehensive overview of important aspects of orthopedic residency program management, from ethical considerations to interpersonal skills, reliability, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
