    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • General Practice Training
    • Intern Competency Assessment

    Background:

    • The transition from medical school to independent practice is critical for interns.
    • Assessing procedural competency is vital for ensuring patient safety in general practice.
    • Understanding intern skill acquisition informs curriculum development and supervision strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the self-reported competency of Queensland interns in essential procedural skills.
    • To identify specific procedural skill gaps among interns nearing the end of their pre-registration year.

    Main Methods:

    • A self-reported competency survey was administered to Queensland interns in 1988.
    • Interns reported their experience performing 46 essential general practice procedural skills.

  • Data were analyzed based on procedures performed independently and under supervision.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 80% of interns performed 24 out of 46 essential procedural skills independently.
    • Eleven additional procedures were supervised by at least 80% of interns.
    • Four procedural skills were performed by fewer than 50% of the surveyed interns.

    Conclusions:

    • Most interns achieved competency in a majority of essential general practice procedures.
    • Significant gaps exist in the acquisition of specific procedural skills among interns.
    • Further targeted training and assessment are needed for identified low-competency procedures.
