The rotational approach to medical education: time to confront our assumptions?
Abstract
Medical Education 2011: 45 : 69–80 Context Trainees in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education engage in multiple transitions as part of the educational process, including many transitions that occur on both periodic and daily bases within medical education programmes. The clinical rotation, based on either a medical discipline or clinical care setting and occurring over a predetermined, short period of time, is a deeply entrenched educational approach with its roots in Abraham Flexner’s seminal report. Many assumptions about the presumed benefits of clinical rotations have become pervasive despite a lack of empirical evidence on their optimal timing and structure, and on how transitions between clinical rotations should occur. Methods In this paper, we examine the issue of rotational transitions from the three perspectives of sociology, learning theory, and the improvement of quality and safety. Results Discussion from the sociological perspective addresses the need for much greater attention to interprofessional relationships and professional development, whereas that from the learning theory perspective examines the gap between what is known from pedagogical and cognitive science and what is currently practised (learning theory). Discussion from the perspective of improving quality and safety refers to the critical need to embed trainees in functional clinical microsystems as meaningful participants. Conclusions Research is urgently needed on the effects of transitions on trainees, faculty staff, non‐doctor health care providers and patients in order to optimise future competency‐based training models and confirm or refute current assumptions.

These activities are best achieved through longitudinal relationships with faculty who assimilate various sources of information and provide customized appraisal and feedback.
“Collectively, these activities are best achieved through longitudinal relationships with faculty who assimilate various sources of information (e.g., direct observation, multisource feedback) and provide customized appraisal and feedback, facilitating an exploration to identify improvement areas [13–20].”
Residents' interactions with faculty supervisors are often fragmented in rotations, limiting sustained working relationships that allow for customized improvement of clinical skills.
“Ideally, direct observation would be performed by supervisors in clinical settings, but as has been previously identified, residents’ interactions with faculty supervisors are often fragmented in rotations, limiting sustained working relationships that allow for customized improvement of clinical skills [14,15].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
