Worth the Read"What regulatory requirements and existing structures must change if competency-based, time-variable training is introduced into the continuum of medical education in the United States?" In this article, the authors explore the impact of university financial structures, hospital infrastructures, national accrediting body standards and regulations, licensure and certification requirements, government funding, and clinical workforce models in the United States that are all intimately tied to discussions about flexible training times in undergraduate and graduate medicaleducation. They also explore the implications of time-variable training to learners' transitions between medical school and residency, residency and fellowship, and ultimately graduate training and independent practice. Getting Involved with Residency EducationReminder: Faculty volunteers needed: Internal Medicine Intern Procedures and Skills Session Day As part of new intern orientation, all new Internal Medicine interns will participate in a “Procedures and Skills Session” which includes simulation training in thoracentesis/paracentesis and lumbar puncture. During the sessions, there will be a review of basics about indications/contraindications and demonstration of technique/practice. We are looking for faculty volunteers to participate as teachers during the morning (7:45am-noon) and afternoon (1pm-5pm) sessions.
