Variation in Case Exposure During Internal Medicine Residency.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Variation in residency case exposure affects resident learning and readiness for future practice. Accurate reporting of case exposure for internal medicine (IM) residents is challenging because feasible and reliable methods for linking patient care to residents are lacking.

Objective

To develop an integrated education-clinical database to characterize and measure case exposure variability among IM residents.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, an integrated educational-clinical database was developed by linking patients admitted during overnight IM in-hospital call shifts at 5 teaching hospitals to senior on-call residents. The senior resident, who directly cares for all overnight IM admissions, was linked to their patients by the admiss
