Background: Medical simulation has been shown to be beneficial to long-term learning (1). A recent systematic review of 21 simulation studies also illuminated its potential role in preventing medical errors (2). Our institution has a robust simulation center with high-fidelity mannequins that all internal medicine residents rotate through on a yearly basis. Each session has […]

Background: COVID-19 is an emerging illness that the medical community learns more about with each passing day. As medical students go out on their rotations, they receive differing levels of education about the disease and its treatment modalities. Our study aim was to gather baseline information about the knowledge 4th-year medical students were receiving in […]

Background: Internal Medicine residency is a three-year experience during which second and third year residents are expected to lead a team of first year residents and medical students. This structure has led to many residents finding themselves in leadership positions by circumstance and often with limited prior leadership training. The purpose of this study is […]

Background: The relationship between autonomy and supervision (A/S) on general medicine inpatient services requires a balance to ensure patient safety while fostering graduated competency in residents. Previous research at our institution has shown a tension hospitalists feel when balancing these two principles. For example, hospitalists reported that the ideal clinical culture should offer more autonomy […]

Case Presentation: A 14-year-old boy with autism presented with a five-day history of high fever (40.5 degrees C), vomiting, shortness of breath, and a rash involving the palms-and-soles. He was evaluated at urgent care and was believed to have hand-foot-mouth disease. He was brought to the emergency department for ongoing symptoms, where he was noted […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Hospitalists routinely precept third year medical students on general internal medicine wards. One of the key patient care tasks for students is to present and interpret common laboratory test abnormalities. Formal training in interpreting routine diagnostic tests is lacking for students transitioning from preclinical to clinical years. We designed and implemented a module on […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Central venous catheters (CVC), including temporary dialysis catheters, are a relatively frequent procedure needed in the inpatient setting. Historically in our institution, CVC have been placed in the intensive care unit (ICU) by critical care staff or in the radiology suite by interventional radiology staff. The reasons for this placement preference have included the […]

Background: The rate of young adults with complex medical needs and chronic illnesses hospitalized at children’s hospitals is increasing faster than any other age group of pediatric patients. There have been multiple studies showing the impact of young adult and adult aged patients as they are admitted to a pediatric hospital, however little has been […]
