Background: Pediatric hospitalists are responsible for educating varying levels of learners while overseeing rounds to deliver high-quality care in an inpatient setting. While many teaching techniques are described, impactful teaching during rounds is a skill not always taught in training. Efficient utilization of teaching techniques is an endeavor that requires tutelage, repetition, and strategic practice. [...]

Background: Internal Medicine Teaching Teams (IMTTs) aim to deliver both exceptional clinical education and efficient, high-quality patient care. However, increasing workloads and the fast pace on inpatient wards are challenging this dual objective. Our study sought to understand the tensions between education and clinical practice in IMTTs and how academic leaders are addressing these challenges. [...]

Background: The Hospitalist Service of Wellstar-MCG Health run the Family Medicine In-Service (FMIS) rotations. It is a month-long rotation with a team consisting of a hospitalist attending, one or two senior residents, and several interns.

Despite these faculty expectations, few hospitalists have explicit training in how to teach effectively and lack formal experience in developing these skills. There is both a demand and need for sanctioned educational opportunities for academic hospitalists to refine their teaching [...]

Early attendings must quickly learn how to balance autonomy and supervision, advance patient care, and educate a wide spectrum of learners. Although tools such as faculty development workshops or peer observation programs are [...]

Background: Coaching and mentorship programs for new hospitalists can help support early career development. However, new faculty may need additional real-time support as they attend on service for the first time. This may be particularly useful on the teaching service given the unique challenges new faculty may face, such as developing teaching points, providing feedback [...]
