Chief Resident Skills: A Study on Resident Perceptions of Skill Importance and Confidence.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Chief residents (CRs) generally play a pivotal role in the graduate medical education mission to facilitate the professional development of resident physicians. Courses designed to prepare CRs for their new role previously have primarily focused on developing their teaching, evaluation and interpersonal communication skills. What remains unclear is how different types of residents (CRs versus Non-CRs and men versus women) may vary in their perception of how important particular skills are, and their confidence in performing these same skills. The purpose of this cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was to investigate the potential differences in sample respondents' perceived importance of CR skills and respondents' perceived confidence to perform these skills.
