Extract

The Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (OITE) has been administered to orthopaedic surgery residents throughout the United States since 1963 and, over the past forty-five years, has become "an integral part of orthopaedic education."¹ The test was designed as an educational tool for residents, but it also is used to assess the performance of residents relative to that of others.
