Walking on Sunshine! Innovative BOOT Camp Strategies to Improve the UME/ GME Transition
Objective: The MS4 boot camp is used to provide fourth year medical students with a foundation of skills and knowledge that they will use as interns. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, medical student education was converted from traditional in-person teaching to virtual teaching. We intend to share our experiences, challenges and successes of adapting an in-person APGO boot camp to a virtual curriculum.
The objective of this session is to
• Outline the structure of a virtual MS4 boot camp
• Describe our experience including successes, challenges and student satisfaction
• Brainstorm virtual MS4 boot camp curriculum ideas
• Share our “virtual toolkit” to enhance virtual learning
