Abstract
The objective of this analysis was to assess the practical value of the training experience for graduates of U.S. internal medicine residencies. Six alumni surveys were selected for analysis, wherein training items were grouped into comparable categories. Results of the studies were compared, using simultaneous preparation/importance ratings as the basis for assessment of items in each category. Six recent alumni surveys depict internal medicine residency training as a technical experience, wherein basic skills and practice-related issues may be underemphasized. Such surveys are useful for periodic re-evaluation of program goals and outcomes.
