ObjectivesWe sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel Internal Medicine (IM) transition to residency (TTR) curriculum.MethodsWe performed a paired pre-/postsurvey evaluation of graduating fourth-year medical students' perceived preparedness and medical knowledge after participating in a recently developed IM TTR course.ResultsThe response rate was 51% (24 of 47). There was a significant improvement in 15 of 17 perceived preparedness items and significant improvement in the medical students' performance on the 8-question medical knowledge test.ConclusionsThe IM TTR curriculum improved medical students' medical knowledge and perceived preparedness for internship on a variety of high-yield clinical topics. The curriculum may be appealing to other institutions that are developing or revamping TTR courses.
