Management of residents in difficulty in a Swiss general internal medicine outpatient clinic: changes are needed!

"Aims of the study: Residents in difficulty are a major concern in medical education, with a prevalence of 7-15%. They are often detected late in their training and cannot beneficiate from remediation plans. Nowadays, most training hospitals in Switzerland do not have specific processes to identify and manage residents in difficulty. The aim of the study was to explore the challenges perceived by physicians regarding the process of identifying, diagnosing and supporting residents in difficulty in a structured and programmatic way. We explored perceptions of physicians at different hierarchical levels (residents (R), senior residents (SR), attending physicians (A), Chief Physician (CP)) in order to better understand these challenges."
