Determination of costs of simulation for training and assessment for each module per resident in the University of Toronto orthopaedic surgery residency training program before and after the implementation of the competency-based curriculum (CBC)

Type of residency training program	Formula for cost of simulation for training per resident	Formula for cost of simulation for assessment per resident
Training program before CBC implementation	Cost of simulation for training in entire academic year 12 regular stream residents	No simulation used for assessment
CBC residents separate from regular stream residents	Cost of simulation for training in each module 3 CBC residents	Cost of simulation for assessment in each module 3 CBC residents
CBC residents plus regular stream residents	Cost of simulation for training in each module 3 or 5 CBC residents* + 7 regular stream residents	Cost of simulation for assessment in each module 3 or 5 CBC residents* + 7 regular stream residents for the Boot Camp, Basic and Advanced Sports modules

* During the 2012–2013 academic year, certain modules had varying numbers of CBC residents on them; this number was three for complex trauma and oncology and five for all other modules.
