• Achievement goal theory is consistently associated with specific cognitions, emotions, and behaviours
  
  that support learning in many domains, but has not been examined in postgraduate medical education. The purpose
  of this research was to examine internal medicine residents’ achievement goals, and how these relate to their sense
  
  of self-efficacy, epistemic emotions, and valuing of formative compared to summative assessments. These outcomes
  
  will be important as programs transition more to competency based education that is characterized by ongoing
  
  formative assessments.
