Changes in knowledge of diabetes guidelines during internal medicine residency training.
We assessed the impact of residency training on knowledge of diabetes guidelines and found that knowledge of diagnosis and management of diabetes changes modestly during internal medicine residency training. Knowledge improved only between the first and second year of training, and significant gaps in knowledge remained among senior residents.
