Curricular data demonstrated significant increases (p < .05) in resident confidence in critical care topics as well as procedural and communication skills (Table 2). Learner confidence in the treatment of anaphylaxis, sepsis, acute coronary syndromes, status epilepticus, pulmonary embolism, ACLS algorithms, and cerebral vascular events all increased with significance. Additionally, with exception to endotracheal intubation for curricular year 1, confidence in procedural skills (defibrillation, transcutaneous pacing, cardioversion, central line placement, lumbar puncture) and communication skills (medical error notification and death notification) increased with significance in both curricular years 1 and 2. Finally, more than 75% of interns in both curricular years 1 and 2 stated a desire to attend future sessions.Table 2Mean learner confidence pre- and postcurriculum in year 1 (n = 51) and year 2 (n = 59)Curricular topicPrePost p value95% CIAnaphylaxis Year 10.731.57< .0001(0.60, 1.09) Year 20.781.73< .0001(0.78, 1.22)Sepsis Year 11.001.84< .0001(0.59, 1.09) Year 21.002.03< .0001(0.81, 1.30)Acute coronary syndrome Year 11.021.65< .0001(0.38, 0.88) Year 20.881.82< .0001(0.73, 1.13)Status epilepticus Year 10.671.63< .0001(0.70, 1.21) Year 20.611.73< .0001(0.90, 1.38)Pulmonary embolism Year 11.191.80< .0001(0.34, 0.88) Year 21.071.95< .0001(0.64, 1.15)Advanced cardiac life support Year 10.961.75< .0001(0.56, 1.01) Year 20.811.88< .0001(0.87, 1.31)Cerebral vascular accident Year 11.001.59< .0001(0.34, 0.83) Year 20.921.87< .0001(0.71, 1.25)Endotracheal intubation Year 10.981.24.1510(− 0.07, 0.58) Year 20.781.33< .0001(0.30,0 .86)Central line placement Year 11.131.76.0006(0.30, 0.96) Year 21.021.55.0003(0.26, 0.86)Lumbar puncture Year 11.121.63.0041(0.19, 0.84) Year 20.981.52.0003(0.27, 0.89)Defibrillation Year 10.751.47< .0001(0.43, 1.01) Year 20.661.63< .0001(0.70, 1.23)Transcutaneous pacing Year 10.381.08< .0001(0.43, 0.95) Year 20.361.32< .0001(0.72, 1.17)Cardioversion Year 10.421.22< .0001(0.53, 1.06) Year 20.411.48< .0001(0.81, 1.30)Death notification Year 10.961.82< .0001(0.62, 1.10) Year 20.981.88< .0001(0.62, 1.13)Medical error notification Year 10.851.63< .0001(0.53, 1.04) Year 21.001.75< .0001(0.50, 1.01)All data are represented as mean ± standard deviation ACLS advanced cardiac life support, CI confidence interval
