The evolution of procedural competency in internal medicine training.

Sacks CA, Alba GA, Miloslvasky EM. JAMA Intern Med. 2017 Oct 23; [Epub ahead of print].

This commentary highlights the role of simulation in developing procedural competencies within the demands of internal medicine residency. The authors suggest that focusing on procedural experience rather than technical skill can help clinicians learn how to manage their time, build relationships, and be mindful of treatment risks throughout their careers.
