| description | The burden of cirrhosis and chronic liver disease is growing, yet there is a projected worsening deficit in hepatology providers. As such, cirrhosis and liver disease have been important inclusions within the core curricula of Internal Medicine. Formal assessments of provider preparedness resulting from the curriculum are lacking though. Prior studies have demonstrated that exposure to cirrhosis in undergraduate medical education is insufficient, as are learner comfort and self-reported knowledge levels. These findings are further corroborated by a multicenter survey of incoming Internal Medicine interns showing that subjective comfort with and objective knowledge of various liver disease topics are lacking compared to other common Internal Medicine topics. This paper also demonstrates how similar surveys may be used to identify additional topics that may require adjustments for curricular improvement. |
