It remains unclear whether internal medicine (IM) residents receive appropriate training in PrEP care and if this affects their future practices. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the relationship between current IM residents’ prior PrEP training and knowledge, comfort, and practice regarding the provision of PrEP.
