| Popis: | BackgroundInduction programmes aim to ease the transition from medical student to doctor. The interim foundation year 1 (FiY1) placement, introduced in the first COVID-19 wave, provided experience in advance of the Foundation Year 1 (FY1) start in August; providing more time and enhanced responsibilities than traditional induction programmes. This study examines the effects of the FiY1 placement on anxiety levels and preparedness for FY1.MethodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study using data from four cohorts of FY1s who completed the online National FY1 induction survey from 2017 to 2020 (n = 4766). Questions evaluated self-reported preparedness and anxiety levels. Differences in preparedness and anxiety levels of FiY1 and non-FiY1 participants in 2020, and the 2017–2019 participants (non-FiY1 controls), were evaluated.ResultsFiY1s in 2020 reported higher self-reported preparedness (79%) than non-FiY1s (54%) in 2020 (p = ConclusionTime spent in an FiY1 role is associated with an increase in self-perceptions of preparedness and a reduction in anxiety. These data indicate that time spent in an FiY1 role may have utility in further improving the transition period from medical school to FY1. |
