Abstract

We implemented a flipped classroom curriculum for our institution’s resident physicians entering their internship year. This curriculum included instructional videos on ACLS, supplemental oxygen delivery, trans-thoracic echocardiography, and line placement, followed by a 3-day simulation-based curriculum. Overall self-efficacy of interns increased following the curriculum. This increased self-efficacy, particularly in procedural ability, was similar to that of PGY-2 residents who had 1 year of experience. Our work suggests that a flipped classroom/simulation-based curriculum for interns can effectively teach a clinical skill set in a short period, yielding self-efficacy in implementing that skill set, particularly in procedural ability, comparable to that after 1 year of residency.
