Self-Efficacy and Clinical Competence After an Emergency Medicine Internship

Öz

Objectives: Emergency medicine (EM) internships offer high-acuity, real-time learning environments that can significantly influence the academic self-efficacy and clinical confidence of final-year medical students. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a two-month structured EM internship on students’ academic self-efficacy and perceived competence in core EM domains. Methods: This prospective observational pre-post study was conducted between September 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023, in a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital in Türkiye. Final-year medical students, who are referred to as medical interns within the Turkish medical education system, completed the Medical Achievement Self-Efficacy Scale (MASS) and a 30-item self-assessment aligned with the National Core Medical Curriculum before and after the internship. Statistical analyses included nonparametric tests and Cronbach’s alpha for reliability. Results: Of 126 eligible final-year medical students, 99 completed the pre-internship assessment and 66 completed both pre- and post-internship assessments. MASS scores significantly improved (pre: 68.0 [18–90] vs. post: 77.0 [32–90]; Z = –4.482, p < 0.001). Self-efficacy increased in all five EM domains, particularly in patient assessment and triage. Limited gains were observed in burnout recognition and complex procedures. Conclusions: Structured EM internships may enhance self-efficacy and clinical readiness among final-year medical students. Curriculum development should include immersive EM rotations and targeted support for stress resilience and procedural skills.
