Research study design
This study was a prospective, group randomized, single-blind quasi experimental trial involving 108 students enrolled in a single transition to residency course and their coaches at Duke University from January- April of 2017. This method was chosen to allow both groups of students the same educational content, taken in a different sequence. Group randomization occurred for purposes of scheduling in the simulation center. Only faculty evaluators were blinded to sequencing of the educational content.
