The PRINT course was most effective in improving students' perceptions of their capability in procedural skills, operational management and administrative tasks, indicating that student-to-intern transition courses should be clinically orientated, address relevant skills, use experiential learning, and focus on practical tasks.
Emphasis was put on the critical lessons based on experiential learning of the project partners.
The PEAK program highlights the importance of small group achievement of specific tasks (social cognitive theory) and of independent and experiential learning situated in clinical practice (adult learning theory).
Thus, creating an online learning environment for real life learning, social interaction and an experiential learning environment (free-anxiety environment) is very important in order to favour learning in authentic learning tasks (Herrington & Reeves 2003; Huang 2002a, 2002b).
Aside from academic learning models the approach of experiential learning seems to be beneficial because participants get involved into a task, methods applied to concrete objects in a (nearly) real environment and there is immediate feedback on decisions and behaviour.
That complements a thesis proposed by Steve Blank and Bob Dorf in The Startup Owner's Manual: that every start-up's principal task is to search for a scalable opportunity an entirely experiential learning process that is not amenable to a prearticulated strategy.

This is experiential learning.
"It's really an experiential learning center".
