TL;DR
No difference was found between intervention residents and controls in the assessment of their ability to apply improvement knowledge, which suggests that workshops and PIPs alone will not lead to competence in PBLI.
Abstract
No difference was found between intervention residents and controls in the assessment of their ability to apply improvement knowledge. This suggests that workshops and PIPs alone will not lead to competence in PBLI. Building this competency likely will require more emphasis on experiential learning and resident participation in health care improvement projects.
