Preparing for Medical Internship: A Case-Based Strategy to Teach Management of Common Overnight Calls to Students

Introduction More medical schools are offering a transition-to-intern-year course to better prepare graduates for residency. Sessions where students simulate receiving cross-cover calls are frequently included and highly rated. However, simulated sessions are often resource intensive and therefore c...

Sessions where students simulate receiving cross-cover calls are frequently included and highly rated. However, simulated sessions are often resource intensive and therefore challenging to implement in all schools. We developed a case-based exercise to address this need. Methods In 2009, our school implemented a required course focused on the transition-to-intern year, including a common overnight calls (COC) module. Students rotated through different stations in small groups which were each led by a facilitator. Topics have evolved in response to feedback, and current topics included altered mental status, chest pain, and other frequent calls. Results Over 1,000 students have participated in the module. The students consistently reported that they perceived themselves to be more prepared for internship. Between 2009 and 2016, the mean rating of “the COC module helped prepare me for internship” was 6.29 on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree). The 2017 data are limited. In 2018 and 2019, students continued to feel more prepared for their intern year, 4.72 in 2018 and 4.71 in 2019 on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree). The students perceived the COC format as effective.
