Background:

The Capstone course transitioned from a small elective to a required fourth-year course.
The course structure evolved from didactic lectures to include workshops and simulation sessions.
Content became more specialty-specific to enhance resident training.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the nine-year evolution of a Capstone course at one institution.
To share lessons learned in developing a required transition-to-residency course.
To highlight the impact of course changes on resident preparedness.

Main Methods:

Descriptive analysis of course development over nine years.
Incorporation of workshops and simulation sessions.
Implementation of specialty-specific content and faculty involvement.

Main Results:

The Capstone course transformed into a required, specialty-specific curriculum.
Evaluations showed increased participant self-reported confidence.
Residents reported improved preparedness for residency.

Conclusions:

The Capstone course's evolution positively impacted resident confidence and preparedness.
Faculty and resident involvement is crucial for successful implementation.
This model offers insights for other institutions developing transition-to-residency courses.
