Innovating to Improve Individualized Training in Internal Medicine Residency: Inpatient Threads and Block 2.0.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe ACGME Internal Medicine (IM) Program Requirements mandate 6 months of individualized training and 10 months of outpatient medicine over 3 years. Balancing these with service needs is challenging. At UCSF, we developed a multi-pronged approach to individualize training across clinical settings.
aimTo develop a curriculum that supports individualized education, longitudinal mentorship, and career development while meeting ACGME requirements.
settingAn IM residency spanning three hospitals at the University of California, San Francisco.
participantsAll PGY2-PGY3 categorical IM residents in the 2024-2025 academic year. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Two complementary innovations were implemented: (1) Inpatient Threads, allowing residents to select inpatient tracks aligned with career goals (e.g., generalist, cardiology/critical care); and (2) Block 2.0, a redesigned outpatient/elective curriculum with longitudinal subspecialty clinics (LSCs), skill-based pathways, and scholarly time. Residents completed 2 LSCs annually and enrolled in a GME-wide Academic Pathway. PROGRAM EVALUATION: The redesign was informed by needs assessments and survey data collected from 2014 to 2023. Early outcomes signal improved mentorship and record participation in the resident research symposium. Ongoing evaluation includes ACGME survey data, internal surveys, and focus groups. DISCUSSION: This customizable curriculum offers a replicable model to individualize training while preserving the generalist foundation of IM residency.
