Background: In 2015, medical students in their clinical clerkships (traditionally known as third year medical students) began rotating directly with hospitalist attendings. As we began crafting the rotation, we sought to provide value that was not leveraged elsewhere in their clerkships.

The Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine stated that ECG interpretation should be a skill required for medical school transition to residency. Yet, prior research indicates graduating medical students correctly […]

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: Preliminary data from the 2018 Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine (CDIM) survey showed that in about 50% of both academic and community medical centers, medical students rotate directly with attendings (1). This number has increased by 400% from 2010, the last year for which data is available (2). In our institution, hospital medicine (HM) […]

The majority of current studies on medical mentorship are focused on relationships between resident and attending physicians in procedural-oriented specialties; there are minimal studies with the resident as mentor. Purpose: With the goal […]
