Our primary objective was to assess the residents' satisfaction regarding its accessibility, as well as to estimate the percentage of residents who felt improvement in confidence levels in their management skills and their preparation for the monthly exams and for the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study comparing the three different Post-Graduate Year residents. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 44 participating residents, and a multivariate analysis test was conducted. Results: Most of the residents thought the morning report/Harrison Club folder was easily accessible. 86.7%, 82.4% and 83.3% found it valuable to improve their confidence in management; 80%, 70.6% and 83.3% found it valuable to improve their confidence in preparation for the monthly exams; and 86.7%, 82.4% and 83.3% found it valuable to improve their confidence in preparing for the ABIM among the PGY1, PGY2, and PGY3 residents, respectively. Conclusion: Almost all the residents agreed that they would recommend adoption of a similar digital tool in other residency programs.
