Abstract
By the end of their training, all orthopaedic residents should be competent in understanding musculoskeletal research enough to navigate the literature and base clinical decisions on it. To accomplish this, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires involvement in scholarly activity. For those interested in academics and having additional involvement in research, there can be many benefits including professional achievement and intellectual /personal satisfaction. A number of potential career models exist for those interested in being engaged in musculoskeletal research, so trainees should seek the training and level of involvement in research that will help them achieve their individual academic goals. To that end, trainees should become involved with research early and identify research mentors in their field of interest (at home or from afar). Training programs and faculty members should create a milieu conducive to research productivity and support and equip trainees who have such aspirations.
