With the 2026 Orthopaedic In-Training Exam October 30 – November 8, JBJS is pleased to announce the launch of JBJS Ace — a new test preparation app designed specifically for orthopaedic surgical residents. Whether you are cramming for the OITE, working toward board certification, or making the most of 20 minutes between cases, JBJS Ace is built around the way residents actually study: on the go, under pressure, and with no time to waste. If you are looking for a focused, efficient way to prepare before exam day, this is it.
What’s Inside
- 1,500 expert-written questions across all major orthopaedic subspecialties, with detailed explanations and direct links to Chapman’s Orthopaedic Surgery Textbook and supporting JBJS literature
- AI chatbot trained exclusively on JBJS publications and Chapman’s Textbook — not the open web
- Progress dashboard showing mastery level, category completion, and areas needing attention by subspecialty
- Podcasts in multiple formats and lengths for learning on the go
- Leaderboard and peer rankings powered by XP earned through correct answers
How Is JBJS Ace Different from JBJS Clinical Classroom?
The two platforms complement each other but serve different purposes. Clinical Classroom is an institutional tool for program managers monitoring resident learning through reporting and structured exams. JBJS Ace was built exclusively for residents — faster, more intuitive, and matched specifically to previous OITEs so you are studying exactly what you need to know.
Free to Download
Your first 50 OITE-matched questions are free with no subscription required. Download on the App Store, Google Play, or visit ace.jbjs.org to get started.
