ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Transition to residency (TTR) courses facilitate the medical student-residency transition and are an integral part of senior medical student training. The authors established a common set of skills for TTR courses, and an expected level of entrustment students should demonstrate in each skill on TTR course completion.

METHOD:

A modified Delphi approach was used with 3 survey iterations between 2020 and 2022 to establish skills to be included in a TTR course. Nine TTR experts suggested general candidate skills and conducted a literature search to ensure no vital skills were missed. A stakeholder panel was solicited from email lists of TTR educators, residency program directors, and residents at the panelists' institutions. Consensus was defined as more than 75% of participants selecting a positive inclusion response. An entrustment questionnaire asked panelists to assign a level of expected entrustment to each skill, with 1 indicating observation only and 6 indicating perform independently.

RESULTS:

The stakeholder panel initially consisted of 118 respondents with representation across educational contexts and clinical specialties. Response rates were 54% in iteration 2, 42% in iteration 3, and 33% on the entrustment questionnaire. After 3 iterations, 54 skills met consensus and were consolidated into 37 final skills categorized into 18 clinical skills (e.g., assessment and management of inpatient concerns), 14 communication skills (e.g., delivering serious news or having difficult conversations), 4 personal and professional skills (e.g., prioritization of clinical tasks), and 1 procedural skill (mask ventilation). Median entrustment levels were reported for all skills, with 19 skills having a level of expected entrustment of 4 (perform independently and have all findings double-checked).

CONCLUSIONS:

These consensus skills can serve as the foundation of a standardized national TTR curriculum framework. Entrustment guidance may help educational leaders optimize training and allocation of resources for TTR curriculum development and implementation.
