Popis: | BACKGROUND Interventional pulmonary (IP) fellows spend ≥6 years of postgraduate medical education before IP training. Given the high employment attrition rates of early medical professionals, we investigated the IP fellows' self-assessed readiness for employment and the role of an intense preemployment educational intervention on improving the same. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over 2 consecutive academic years, IP fellows nationally were invited to a mid-year career development symposium focusing on employment search strategy and early career development. Attendees were anonymously surveyed presymposium/postsymposium and 6 months later at graduation. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Attendees' knowledge and skills were rated on a 5-point Likert scale. A control group of IP fellows that did not attend the symposium were also surveyed at graduation. RESULTS In total, 53 of 55 attendees (96% response rate) completed the presymposium survey and 50 of 55 (91%) completed the final survey at graduation. Overall, 16 of 18 (89%) nonattendees also completed the final survey at graduation. IP Fellows reported low baseline self-assessment scores on all question domains. Scores increased significantly postsymposium and were sustained at graduation (P |
