Transitional Year Residency Program Curriculum: Direct Observation

Direct observation develops introspection and fosters change based on individualized feedback. Within our residency program, direct observation is achieved with:

• OSCE - Each intern participates in multiple OSCE (Observed Standardized Clinical encounter) at LVHN's Interdisciplinary Simulation Center (ISC). These sessions are focused around professionalism, developing a patient-centered approach and agenda setting. Standardized patients – actors trained to simulate actual patients in patient care settings – are used to provide a real-life setting. Formative feedback is provided, and a compilation of the session is placed in hard copy within the residents’ binder.
