Teaching the Teachers and Training the Trainers courses have now become a requirement of most surgical training programmes in the UK (see www.rcseng.ac.uk/education/courses/courses/training-the-trainers). Medical educationalists have spent many years developing the courses to improve the teaching skills of the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. Have their efforts made a difference to medical education? The aim of this study was to assess the influence of teacher training upon the students' perception of their teaching and also upon their retention of knowledge in the field of orthopaedics and trauma.
