The goals of this study were to determine the effectiveness of the Internship Boot Camp on three measures: (1) level of confidence about entering their internship, (2) ability to develop a framework for responding to common challenges, and (3) ability to demonstrate an appropriate gain in clinical knowledge using a comprehensive post-course assessment. Fifty-three students from the Wayne State University School of Medicine who matched into a variety of non-surgical residencies were offered an ungraded elective entitled, "Intern Boot Camp." Before developing the boot camp curriculum, a needs assessment (a systematic process for determining and addressing needs or "gaps" existing in the knowledge and skills of medical students) was conducted through a voluntary online survey. ./cache/cord-292976-qctfl6r8.txt ./txt/cord-292976-qctfl6r8.txt
