摘要
We describe our institution's development and implementation of our Capstone course from a small elective course to the only required fourth-year course. The course's structure evolved from mostly didactic to one including various workshops and simulation sessions. Course content has become increasingly specialty-specific. Implementation requires high faculty and resident involvement. Evaluations indicate a positive impact of the course on participants' self-reported confidence and residency preparedness. Assessment remains pass/fail with more specialty-specific questions. As steadily increasing numbers of medical schools are developing transition to residency courses, we share our Capstone course's evolution and lessons learned over the past nine years.
