摘要

Background: With our residency program’s primaryteaching facility moving to a new building the resident staffingmodel changed, resulting in a perceived decrease in critical careexperiences for interns. Because in their second year, postgraduateyear (PGY)-2 residents take on the role of resident in charge, therewas a need to provide additional training and to ascertain that thenew PGY-2s had sufficient critical care understanding and abilityprior to being assigned this graduated responsibility.Educational Objectives: 1) Standardize and enhance criticalcare teaching among junior residents; 2) evaluate readinessto function as the resident in charge; 3) maximize translationeffectiveness while allowing for flexibility in the curriculum toaddress individual learning needs; and 4) ensure patient safety.
