The Association of American Medical Colleges describes 13 core entrustable professional activities (EPAs) that every graduating medical student should be expected to perform proficiently on day 1 residency, regardless chosen specialty. Studies have shown wide variability in program director (PD) confidence interns' abilities these EPAs. Little is known regarding comparison United States Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores with proficiency
The literature documents inadequate palliative medicine training in undergraduate and graduate medical education. As the population lives longer, many people will experience multiple chronic illnesses associated symptom burden. All physicians involved clinical care of patients need to be equipped with knowledge, attitudes, skills necessary provide care, yet most do not feel adequately prepared.

This study aimed to adapt existing MSF instruments for department implementation, measure feasibility, and collect initial validity evidence support score interpretation assessment.Residents from eight U.S. EM residency programs completed a self-assessment were assessed by physicians, nonphysician colleagues, 25 patients using unique instruments....
Purpose Faculty modeling of desired behaviors has historically been a part the apprenticeship model clinical teaching, yet little is known about best practices for modeling. This study compared educational impact implicitly versus explicitly modeled communication skills among U.S. medical students.Method Fourth-year students from six academic centers were randomly assigned one simulated encounter in which faculty provided either implicit or explicit important skills. Outcomes assessed by...
Third-year medical students traditionally receive their didactic or small group teaching sessions from clinical faculty during clerkship rotations. Near-peer is increasingly recognized as an acceptable method for teaching, however most near-peer takes place the pre-clinical curriculum. We sought to determine if fourth year were noninferior in facilitating discussions rotations.Seventy-five third-year participated a session focused on rheumatologic diseases internal medicine rotation....
