Residents underwent pre\/postcourse surgical skills assessment in the operating room to determine baseline skills and measure transfer validity. Performance on surgical cases was measured using the Arthroscopic Surgical Skill Evaluation Tool, American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery's Operative Performance Score (O\u2010Score), and the Procedure\u2010Specific Checklist Tool (P\u2010Tool). Baseline, training, and postcourse FAST testing was completed. Construct, concurrent, and content validity were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Thirty\u2010four (100%) participants completed the curriculum; 100% of residents and faculty agreed that FAST training improved arthroscopic skills (content validity). Expert\u2010novice comparisons showed significant performance differences for 5 of 6 modules (construct validity). Post\u2010training pass rates improved across all modules except the maze. Each FAST module passed correlated with a 1.24\u2010point increase in Arthroscopic Surgical Skill Evaluation Tool score for simulated cadaveric arthroscopy (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001) and improved VirtaMed knee and shoulder simulator metrics (concurrent validity). Each FAST module passed correlated with a 3.86 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001) Arthroscopic Surgical Skill Evaluation Tool (0\u201033 scale) improvement, a 4.52 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001) American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery's O\u2010Score (8\u201040 scale) improvement, and a 1.29 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.001) American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery's Procedure\u2010Specific Tool (1\u20105 scale) improvement in the operating room (transfer validity).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Performance on the FAST testing was significantly associated with improved arthroscopic performance on cadaveric, simulated, and live surgical assessments, showing content, construct, concurrent, and transfer validity within this cohort.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n The FAST program provides a structured, measurable method for developing fundamental arthroscopic skills early in orthopaedic residency, offering programs an evidence\u2010based option for standardized assessment and targeted skills training.<\/jats:p>\n
