Background:
Select graduating residents across various specialties will need to perform bedside procedures as fellows, as supervising faculty, or as practicing providers. Therefore, the development of a focused and structured curriculum is needed to enhance procedure training.
Aim:
We aim to introduce reproducible frameworks and tools for procedure training.
Setting:
Virginia Commonwealth University internal medicine residents rotate through a two-tertiary care hospital system which consists of 1200 inpatient beds.
Participants:
Categorical internal medicine residents participated in this curriculum with no significant difference in age, gender, or percentage of residents pursuing procedure-related fields before or after curriculum implementation.
Program Description:
The procedure curriculum entails just-in-time simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) for bedside procedures with complete supervision in a clinical environment thereafter with multimodal assessments regardless of competency level achieved at the discretion of a procedure competency committee.
Program Evaluation:
Residents provide feedback via dedicated evaluations for faculty, SBML sessions, procedure rotation, and program evaluations.
Discussion:
Our findings reinforce the use of just-in-time SBML and a medicine procedure service and show the benefit of continued supervision with multimodal assessments regardless of competency level assigned by a procedure competency committee.
