Abstract
Before AY2022-2023, the described residency program in internal medicine lacked a formal curriculum in patient-centered communication skills. Furthermore, this program accepts a large percentage of international medical graduates compared to other institutions in which communication curricula have been previously studied. We describe application of best practices in curriculum development to address the need for formalized communication skills education through multiple pedagogical approaches for internal medicine residents, including orientation didactics, flipped-classroom clinic didactics with roleplay and videos, and updated direct observation tools, along with corresponding faculty development efforts. While end-of-year post-intervention survey data is pending, surveys completed immediately after didactics showed statistically significant improvements in resident self-reported preparedness for key communication domains identified as the greatest need, including sexual histories, addiction encounters, chronic pain encounters, and difficult encounters.
