Description

Problem Definition

• New-to-practice attendings (NPTAs) lack readiness for independent practice
• Graduated autonomy – understood but not structurally enforced in residency training
• Curricular expectations not explicitly defined despite experiential differences between graduate training levels of PGY2 and PGY3 internal medicine residents
• Although residents achieve competencies established by the ACGME prior to graduation, NTPAs feel unprepared suggesting opportunities to change the clinical learning environment to increase
