Empowering incoming fellows: a structured workshop to enhance teaching and professional skills.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundTransitioning into a graduate medical education (GME) fellowship presents challenges, including increased responsibilities and expectations. Fellows must supervise and teach trainees while navigating early career development. Many enter a fellowship with limited educational training. There is also a lack of specialty-specific resources and infrastructure to adequately prepare incoming fellows in these key educational areas. To support this transition, we developed a workshop focused on supervisory skills, on-shift teaching, and career development. The goal was to build fellows' confidence and competence in educational roles while consolidating GME resources.
methodsA 4-hour workshop was delivered in Summer 2025 at a large academic medical center and offered to all incoming fellows with participation was limited to 30 attendees. Invitations were distributed in Spring 2025. The curriculum covered goal setting, supervision, feedback, work-life balance, scholarly work, and help seeking. Participants completed pre and post workshop surveys assessing confidence (5 point Likert scale) and a 10 item knowledge assessment. Paired t tests compared pre and post intervention scores.
resultsAmong 28 fellows from 13 specialties who attended, 22 completed both pre and post intervention surveys (79% response rate). Knowledge scores improved from 9.1 to 9.6 (p < 0.01). Significant increases in confidence were observed across several domains, including goal setting, feedback, supervision, and scholarly activity (p < 0.001). Eighty-six percent found the workshop useful and engaging.
conclusionsThis multispecialty workshop was feasible to implement and led to meaningful gains in fellows' teaching related knowledge and confidence. As a Kirkpatrick Level 2 evaluation, the findings demonstrate short term improvements but do not assess behavioral change in clinical settings. These results support incorporating structured "fellows as teachers" programming early in fellowship training, with plans to expand faculty involvement across additional specialties.
