Description

Objectives:

• Our study sought to assess differences in perceptions and the use of standardized handoff tools between medical students near completion of their third and fourth years of medical school at Sidney Kimmel Medical College.
• We hope to use this information to create targeted medical education interventions to better expose pre-clinical medical students to standardized handoff tools in the first and second years of medical school, before entering the wards.
