Abstract
As the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and National Academy of Medicine (NAM) increase emphasis on quality improvement (QI), continuing medical education must also adapt to meet these increasing demands. In fellowship programs and for attending physicians, QI initiatives exist but are more rare compared with initiatives during residency programs, and they are even more rare for orthopedic surgery residents, fellows, and attending physicians. A QI curriculum should be in place at all stages of continuing medical education, as they help meet the criteria of the ACGME and NAM and promote better clinical practice and minimize errors.
