The READ-SG Study: Effect of Peer-Facilitated Small Group Discussions

In the Internal Medicine residency program at Columbia University Medical Center, PGY-1 trainees receive an hour of protected time to attend a monthly peer-facilitated small group session, outlined above. PGY-2 and 3 trainees have a similar combined session separate from the PGY-1s. Facilitators are chosen by the READ-SG Committee, which is comprised of Mark P. Abrams (Director, Co-Investigator), Evelyn Granieri (Faculty Advisor, PI), a Chief Resident from the program (Program Liaison), and the facilitators.
