medical students• Had an increased recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary
approaches to the care of older adults• Had more confidence to coordinate care across disciplines and
specialties, facilitate small groups, give feedback, connect with reluctant learners, and resolve conflicts in their roles as chief residents.

Testimonials
Great materials provided that I have already gone back to for reference.
It was a great experience learning from peers and passing on the information to the house-staff. It feels like I achieved something.
The CRIT experience helped me develop a more robust set of leadership skills that I was able to utilize throughout the year. Having the geriatrics training at the CRIT was a fantastic review of geriatric clinical pearls. This was highly valuable.
This was a great experience to have a focused education session on a topic that we deal with frequently in surgery but do not have much formal training in. There was a good mix of leadership education topics as well.CHIEF RESIDENT IMMERSION TRAINING (CRIT)
