Abstract

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has defined the “problem resident” as a learner who demonstrates problem behaviors significant enough to require intervention by program leadership, typically the residency program director or chief resident.1 It has been over a decade since Yao and Wright's report2 on the prevalence of “problem residents” in internal medicine residency training programs. Their survey of program directors reported performance problems in 6.9% of residents. We are unaware of any subsequent large studies in internal medicine of this important topic.
