Study: Surgical Intern Survival Skills Class Can Improve Confidence Levels

Implementing a surgical intern survival skills curriculum can increase general surgery interns' confidence levels, according to a study in the American Journal of Surgery.

Researchers developed a surgical intern survival skills curriculum designed to ease the transition from medical student to surgical intern. The curriculum included a series of lectures and interactive sessions on professionalism, medical documentation, pharmacy highlights, radiographic interpretations, nutrition and clinical pages. The interns rated themselves more confident after the course in 27 of the 33 elements assessed.
