Abstract

BACKGROUND: The General Internal Medicine Acting Internship (GIM AI) at our school is a compulsory, one-month-long experience. Morning report-style case-based discussions were conducted on a weekly basis as part of the acting internship and were poorly attended. We sought to redesign our academic half day didactic curriculum and increase voluntary student attendance by allowing students to actively participate in determining the content of the acting internship academic half day.
