Internal medicine (IM) residents frequently perform invasive bedside procedures during residency training. Bedside procedure training in IM programs may compromise patient safety. Current evidence suggests that IM training programs rely heavily on the number of procedures completed during training as a proxy for resident competence instead of using objective postprocedure patient outcomes. The authors posit that the results of procedural training effectiveness should be reframed with outcome metrics rather than process measures alone. This article introduces the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) approach, which originated in the nuclear industry to increase safety margins, to help assess and reduce bedside procedural risks. Training program directors are encouraged to use ALARA calculations to define the risk trade-offs inherent in current procedural training and assess how best to reliably improve patient outcomes. The authors describe 5 options to consider: training all residents in bedside procedures, training only select residents in bedside procedures, training no residents in bedside procedures, deploying 24-hour procedure teams supervised by IM faculty, and deploying 24-hour procedure teams supervised by non-IM faculty. The authors explore how quality improvement approaches using process maps, fishbone diagrams, failure mode effects and analyses, and risk matrices can be effectively implemented to assess training resources, choices, and aims. Future research should address the drivers behind developing optimal training programs that support independent practice, correlations with patient outcomes, and methods that enable faculty to justify their supervisory decisions while adhering to ALARA risk management standards.
