Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming an important part of internal medicine (IM) residency training. Achieving competency requires performing a large volume of clinical exams which can be difficult within the constraints of residency. Often cited barriers include insufficient resident time and the interruption of daily workflow. Methods: Prospective cohort study within a 700-bed, quaternary […]

Background: Worldwide, the number of refugees continues to increase. By the end of 2017, there were an estimated 68.5 million individuals forcibly displaced worldwide due to persecution, conflict, or generalized violence. Refugees have unique and complex health care conditions and needs. Most physicians receive limited, if any, training on providing medical care to refugees. The aim […]

Background: Gender disparities in academic medicine are well-documented. In many current academic settings, decisions regarding faculty promotion, teaching time, and pay are influenced by performance evaluations. As a result, it is crucial to understand how evaluations may be impacted by gender bias. There are three aims to this study: 1) assess for differences in the […]

Background: The National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) mandates shelf examinations for all upper-level medical students completing the Internal Medicine (IM) clerkship. Undergraduate medical curricula have adopted many disparate strategies for succinctly delivering “high-yield” topics to students prior to their examinations, such as PowerPoint presentations, mock examinations, and review of challenging questions from question banks […]

Background: Despite a commitment to high-quality medical education, diagnostic errors continue to be pervasive. Clinical presentations with nonspecific symptoms and diagnoses with wide differentials are prone to diagnostic errors; dizziness may be the epitome of this conundrum. Dizziness is a common symptom, costly to assess, and frequently misdiagnosed. Diagnostic decisions have high stakes, given the […]

Background: Little is known about how to effectively train residents with point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) despite increasing usage. This study sought to assess whether handheld ultrasound devices (HUDs), alongside a year-long lecture series, improved trainee image interpretation skills with POCUS. Methods: Internal medicine intern physicians (n=149) at a single academic institution from 2016-18 participated in the […]

Background: Historical studies suggest that bedside (BS) rounding is optimal for learners. More recent studies report variable results with BS rounding viewed unfavorably among learners. Nonetheless, some academic institutions are moving toward widespread adoption of BS rounding as the preferred rounding style. On the Internal Medicine (IM) inpatient teaching services at the University of Kentucky […]

Background: Literature regarding resident education in transitions of care is limited, particularly in geriatric populations. The University of Colorado performed a pilot of a virtual multidisciplinary conference call between providers on the geriatric inpatient unit of the University of Colorado Hospital and its Seniors Clinic. Residents rotating on the Acute Care of the Elder (ACE) […]

Background: Management of the hospitalized cancer patient represents unique challenges: delivery of complex, specialized medical management to a growing population, compounded by intense scrutiny of patient preference and goals of care. Historically, these patients have been admitted to a subspecialist’s service, but many institutions have now transitioned to a hospitalist-driven care model. Limited research suggests […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Third and fourth year medical students’ experience on general internal medicine ward teams is an integral part of medical student education. At many institutions this experience includes participation in unit based Care Coordination Rounds (CCRs), including our own. These daily multidisciplinary discharge planning meetings are ubiquitous, however students are often uncomfortable presenting at these […]
