Financial literacy is the individual ability and skill to make informed decisions in the management of resources within the financial marketplace to yield a lifetime of financial well-being. Residents across several subspecialties have demonstrated low levels of financial literacy, and it is thought that more financial education is needed during residency training. The purpose of this study is to perform a comprehensive evaluation on financial literacy and financial attitudes of orthopaedic surgery residents. The authors hypothesize that orthopaedic residents will have low levels of financial literacy and financial satisfaction.
