Using the Readiness for Clerkship and Residency Surveys to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Four MD Programs: A Cross-Institutional Generalizability Study.

Purpose: The importance of confidence for learning and performance makes learners' perceptions of readiness for the next level of training valuable indicators of curricular success. The "Readiness for Clerkship" (RfC) and "Readiness for Residency" (RfR) surveys have been shown to provide reliable ratings of the relative effectiveness of various aspects of training. This study examines the generalizability of those results.
