Ready, Set, Goal: A Mixed Methods Study of a Goal-Setting Intervention on 2 Competency-Based Geriatric Medicine Rotations.

More research is required to understand the effects of implementing structured goal-setting on trainee engagement in competency-based clinical learning environments. To explore how residents experienced a rotation-specific goal-setting intervention on geriatric medicine rotations at 2 hospitals. All rotating residents were expected to complete the intervention, consisting of a SMART-based (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goal-setting form and feedback sessions with teaching faculty.

Goal-Setting on a Geriatric Medicine Rotation: A Pilot Study.

Background: Formal goal-setting has been shown to enhance performance and improve educational experiences. We initiated a standardized goal-setting intervention for all residents rotating through a Geriatric Medicine rotation.

Objectives: This study aims to describe the feasibility of a goal-setting intervention on a geriatric medicine rotation, the resources required, and the barriers to implementation.
