Sumario:In the last decade, boot camp residency preparatory courses for fourth-year medical students have become increasingly popular in medical schools across the USA; however, the curricular content of these courses varies widely. The authors surveyed internal medicine interns at a large academic medical center regarding clinical and non-clinical topics that would be useful for an internal medicine residency preparatory curriculum. The response rate was 79% (64/81). A rational approach to antibiotics (42%) and electrolyte management (41%) were the most frequent clinical topics and cross-cover (69%) was the most frequent non-clinical topic selected by interns.
