Designed as a four-week capstone, the University of Kentucky's Transition to Residency course begins after Match Day and concludes before graduation. It offers students hands-on training in patient communication, emergency scenarios and simulations tailored to their future specialties. Dr. Greg talks with Kristen Fletcher, M.D., co-course director and an associate professor in the UK College of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine.
