Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Competency Development
  • Emergency Medicine Training

Background:

  • Emergency department (ED) internships are crucial for developing medical students' core clinical competencies.
  • This study evaluates skill progression during a three-week ED internship and the benefits of extending it from two weeks.
  • It also assesses how this training prepares students for multidisciplinary healthcare environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the weekly progression of key clinical competencies during a structured three-week ED internship.
  • To examine the impact of extending the ED internship duration from two to three weeks.
  • To assess the role of ED internships in preparing students for team-based healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective longitudinal study analyzing 2068 workplace-based assessment (WBA) forms from June 2018 to May 2020.
  • Ten key clinical competencies were evaluated for 133 medical students completing a three-week internship.
  • Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) modeling was used to assess performance trends and inter-cohort differences.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed across all ten competencies by Week 3 (p = 0.0064).
  • Notable gains were seen in history taking, clinical judgment, communication, prescription, and documentation.
  • Students in 2019 showed better performance than in 2018 (p = 0.0318), indicating successful curriculum refinements.

Conclusions:

  • A three-week ED internship substantially enhances medical students' clinical competencies, particularly in communication, judgment, and documentation.
  • Extended internships facilitate deeper clinical immersion and skill reinforcement, crucial for interdisciplinary healthcare.
  • Structured, sustained clinical experiences are vital for preparing competent healthcare professionals for team-based settings.
