Abstract

This study measures changes in clinical confidence experienced by 42 family practice residents as they progressed through a 2-year residency program. At the beginning, 20% or more of respondents reported they lacked confidence in 47 of the 177 topics. Self-assessed competence increased substantially in many areas. However, during the residency, new areas of concern emerged.
