“…4 Capstone courses, also known as BResidency Preparation Courses^(RPCs), or BBoot Camps,^represent an emerging strategy to bridge this gap and are well described in the surgical literature. 5 However, little has been described about the potential value added from internal medicine (IM) RPCs. Our goal is to explore the differences between our IM RPC and sub-internship experiences.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits from 4th year surgical course for medical students upon reaching 6th year surgical course. A questionnaire survey was conducted and questions regarding student satisfaction with the 4th year course and the benefits gained from this course in the 6th year were evaluated. Students were questioned regarding their interest in surgery as a career. A total of 67 students were enrolled in the study and the information collected from them was analyzed. The results showed that only 35 students reported in agreement of offering 1 surgery course; whereas, only 32 students reported in agreement of 2 surgery courses. The results also showed that only 26 students were interested in surgery as a career. The study emphasized on spreading awareness among students regarding surgery, and suggested that courses must be introduced in the curriculum to help students in their future decision making.

“…The transition from medical student to resident is characterized by a marked increase in responsibilities and clinical care demands. 1,2 Residency program directors from diverse specialties perceive that their first-year residents are suboptimally prepared for the expectations of residency. 3,4 There is also emerging evidence that the strain of this transition may contribute negatively to learner well-being, with increases in learner burnout and suicide risk during the first months of residency.…”

Background There is emerging evidence that learners may be suboptimally prepared for the expectations of residency. In order to address these concerns, many medical schools are implementing residency preparation courses (RPCs). Objective We aimed to determine trainees' perceptions of their transition to residency and whether they felt that they benefited from participation in an RPC. Methods All residents and fellows at the University of Michigan (n = 1292) received an electronic survey in July 2018 that queried respondents on demographics, whether medical school had prepared them for intern year, and whether they had participated in an RPC. Results The response rate was 44% (563 of 1292) with even distribution across gender and postgraduate years (PGYs). Most (78%, 439 of 563) felt that medical school prepared them well for intern year. There were no differences in reported preparedness for intern year across PGY, age, gender, or specialty. Overall, 28% (156 of 563) of respondents participated in an RPC and endorsed feeling prepared for intern year, which was more than RPC non-participants (85% [133 of 156] vs 70% [306 of 439], P = .029). Participation in longer RPCs was also associated with higher perceived preparedness for residency. Conclusions This study found that residents from multiple specialties reported greater preparedness for residency if they participated in a medical school fourth-year RPC, with greater perceptions of preparedness for longer duration RPCs, which may help to bridge the medical school to residency gap.

Transition to Surgical Residency

Abstract: Entering surgical residency, interns report not feeling prepared to fulfill common clinical and professional responsibilities. As M4 curricula may enhance preparation, programs facilitating transition to residency should be developed and evaluated.
