Background: Time with learners is a finite resource on the teaching wards. As patient care becomes progressively more complex and clinical demands increase, it can be easy for teaching to get deferred to the next day, which is inevitably just as busy as the day before. Limitation in time due to clinical demands is a […]

Background: CDC guidelines recommend and promote public awareness for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening for baby boomers (1945-1965) and individuals who report risk factors such as IDU. These strict guidelines and targeted educated are hindering positive patients who are non- baby boomers without risk factors from entering care due to the lack of education for […]

Background: Hospital medicine is a growing field, including the subset of academic hospital medicine. Little is known about the characteristics of academic hospitalist programs, leadership, structure and faculty. Methods: A multifaceted survey was developed, piloted and refined to explore and define characteristics of academic hospital medicine. It was sent electronically, with follow up email and […]

Background: Resident work rounds (RWR) serve as the venue for team-based patient interaction, subsequent patient care planning, and education through didactics and observation. However, the expectations of RWR are unclear; do residents continue to see patients and is teaching still expected? If not, what barriers exist? Few studies examining RWR structure have been done however […]

Background: The role of the clerkship director (CD) in Internal Medicine (IM) has been increasingly recognized and valued as a ‘legitimate pathway towards academic advancement. We hypothesized that salary support for the IM CD has lagged behind the recommended 0.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) put forth by Pangaro and colleagues. Methods: In 2016, Clerkship Directors in […]

Background: Hospital readmission rates may be influenced by the level of healthcare literacy. Patients who lack an understanding of their diagnosis and warning signs have the potential to not seek medical care in a timely manner. The information patients tend to receive upon discharge is lengthy and unclear. In addition, instructions are not standardized across […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Feedback on clinical management and diagnostic accuracy may enhance physicians’ learning and reduce diagnostic error. Residents on night admitting rotations rarely receive feedback on their clinical management and seldom have the opportunity to reflect on their patients’ clinical courses. Barriers include the lack of a structured approach to feedback and reflection, discontinuous training environments, […]

Background: Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) significantly augments physical exam and improves medical management, and many medical schools across the United States are implementing undergraduate POCUS curricula. As a result, internal medicine (IM) residency programs have incoming interns with varying levels of POCUS knowledge and skill. We administered a needs assessment questionnaire to incoming interns […]

As part of the program, Advanced practice fellows (APFs) have historically attended the internal medicine case conference, which […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Feedback and teaching are critical to the development of clinical skills. Although they occur with regularity on medical wards, learners infrequently recognize them (Kogan et al. 2000). Feedback has been defined as providing information related to a learner’s performance that is intended to guide future thinking and behavior (Ende 1983, Shute 2008); while teaching […]
