Description
Michael Bourassa and colleagues ask how physical therapy residents and fellows shape the training of entry-level doctoral students in the same programme. Advanced trainees clearly gain skill and confidence from such programmes, but their effect on the students around them was unstudied. Surveys and interviews reached students across cohorts with unlike exposure to residents and fellows.
Fifty-two students answered the survey and forty-two sat for interviews. Seventy-three percent said the advanced trainees enriched their education. Half said access to residents and fellows swayed their own choice to seek such training later. The authors call for wider study beyond this single university.
