Accurate identification of clinically relevant core competencies enables academic institutions to prioritize which new and foundational information to cover in the limited time available. The goal of this study was to aggregate the opinions of veterinary practitioners about small animal core competencies in veterinary orthopedics. An online 20-question survey was distributed with questions regarding respondent demographics, education, practice type, caseload, involvement in orthopedic procedures, access to referral hospitals, frequency of orthopedic condition presentation and procedure performance, and proposed percent allocation of various orthopedic curriculum topics. Responses were included from 721 respondents, largely first-opinion veterinarians (81%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 580\/721). The majority (58%;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 418\/721) of respondents performed less than 10% of the orthopedic surgeries themselves and, 37% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 266\/721) reported never performing orthopedic surgery; of those performing surgeries, 78% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 354\/455) performed less than six orthopedic procedures monthly. The five most common orthopedic conditions seen included generalized osteoarthritis, patellar luxation, cranial cruciate ligament disease, hip dysplasia\/arthritis, and muscle\/tendon injuries. Median respondent scores for the percentage that a topic should compose in an ideal orthopedic curriculum were 20% each for \u201corthopedic exam\u201d and for \u201cnon-surgical orthopedic knowledge,\u201d 15% each for \u201cnon-surgical orthopedic skills,\u201d \u201corthopedic imaging (radiographs),\u201d and \u201csurgical orthopedic knowledge,\u201d 10% for \u201csurgical orthopedic skills,\u201d and 2% for \u201cadvanced orthopedic imaging.\u201d Based on these results, a curriculum focusing on the most clinically relevant orthopedic conditions with an emphasis on diagnosis establishment and non-surgical treatments is proposed.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3138\/jvme-2022-0070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,13]],"date-time":"2023-01-13T14:08:26Z","timestamp":1673618906000},"page":"677-684","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["What to Teach in Small Animal Veterinary Orthopedics: A Survey of Practicing Veterinarians to Inform Curriculum Development"],"prefix":"10.3138","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Felix","family":"Duerr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Clinical Sciences, 1601 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1678 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolaas","family":"Lambrechts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"29 Aspeling St, Bodorp, George 6529 South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colleen","family":"Duncan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology, 1601 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1601 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Connor P.","family":"Gibbs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Natural Sciences, Department of Statistics, 102 Statistics Building, 851 Oval Dr., Fort Collins, CO 80523-1877 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"West","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, 1601 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1601 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Rishniw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Information Network, 777 West Covell Blvd, Davis, CA, 95616 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lindsay","family":"Elam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Clinical Sciences, 1601 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1678 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1696","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3138\/jvme.1217-183r1"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2021.68935"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3138\/jvme.2019-0082"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","unstructured":"AAVMC.
