Ready, or not? A qualitative study of emergency medicine senior residents’ perspectives on preparing for practice
Trainees draw from past experiences to forecast their abilities to manage the inevitable uncertainties of unsupervised practice. These conceptualizations of preparedness reflect a capability approach to training, with informed confidence and dynamic self-appraisal. These findings suggest potential learning goals of senior trainees and considerations for medical educators to consider when fostering trainees' capabilities for unsupervised practice.
