Section snippets
Methods
A literature review was conducted using 11 journals that regularly publish topics concerning foot and ankle surgery as indicated by their scope (The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery; The Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association; Foot and Ankle International; Foot and Ankle Surgery; Foot and Ankle Clinics; Foot and Ankle Specialists; Techniques in Foot and Ankle Surgery; The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, American edition; Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery; The Foot;
Results
A total of 2,099 articles were screened, and 272 were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria (Fig. 1). Overall, 1,826 manuscripts comprising 7,180 authors were eligible for review and analyzed. As shown in Table 1, 396 manuscripts (21.68%) maintained ≥1 resident in an author position, and 195 manuscripts (10.67%) had residents in the first author position. With 92 resident-authored publications (22.67%), the Tri-State ACFAS Region had the greatest number of resident-authored
Discussion
Evidence-based medicine remains imperative to the advancement of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, as displayed by the growing body of research over the past few decades (10, 11, 12). In an effort to introduce the skills necessary to interpret and conduct such scholarly activity, CPME has outlined standards that Podiatric Medicine and Surgery residents must meet before graduation. Although studies have examined the role of academic meetings and journals clubs in the Podiatric Medicine and Surgery
