Alliance Recommendations for UME to GME Transition Curricula

In response to the 2021 Coalition for Physician Accountability (CoPA) recommendation the Alliance established a representative task force to examine some of the issues surrounding:

• shared definition of learner outcomes
• improved content delivery
• robust handoff in the UME-GME transition

Recognizing there is currently no consensus on topics that should be covered in capstone courses or orientations for IM learners, AAIM developed a framework of standardized curriculum to proactively address learning gaps. The recommendations are based on domains that are critical for both direct patient care and professional development of new interns; however, the development of standardized competency-based assessments is still needed.
