Incoming family medicine interns (PGY1s) and interns from other programs (family medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics/OB) will learn the technical skills necessary to perform a neonatal circumcision procedure. They will do this via a series of pre-reading, video tutorial, and hands-on experience (“see one, do one, teach one”). It will also involve a summative simulation on a newborn model during which the individual resident’s competency is formally evaluated.
