Background: In 2016, there were more than 50,000 hospitalists working in the United States. The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) published ‘The Core Competencies in Hospital Medicine’ as a blueprint to standardize expectations of practicing hospitalists and to inform continuing medical education (CME) programs. We conducted a qualitative study to discover elements judged to be […]

Background: Case-based scholarship and education are important and longstanding sources of knowledge about new diseases, rare presentations of known diseases, and side effects of treatments. Cases are commonly used to teach clinical decision-making and to tie together theoretical topics to real-life patient care. Hospital Medicine provides access to a myriad of clinical cases. However, sharing […]

Background: Internal medicine residents face multiple barriers to participating in and documenting goals of care (GOC) meetings in the intensive care unit (ICU). Barriers include heavy workloads, need for urgent stabilization of critically ill patients, and inadequate communication skills training. Guidelines recommend regularly conducting and documenting GOC meetings for critically ill patients, to facilitate communication […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education’s Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) program has placed a much-needed spotlight on the role of resident physicians in patient safety (PS) and quality improvement (QI). Medical school training in PS/QI is highly variable and our residents received very limited formal training in PS/QI prior to the intervention […]

Background: The Limited English Proficiency (LEP) population is at higher risk of receiving poorer care and worse health outcomes compared to their English-speaking counterparts. Interpreters should be utilized to help improve these encounters, but physicians are rarely trained on how to work with interpreters effectively. This is reflected in a prior study showing that residents […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: An estimated one-third of national healthcare spending is waste, with the largest contribution stemming from unnecessary use of services. Published efforts to enhance cost consciousness have largely focused on residents and practicing physicians. Few curricula have been designed to educate and engage medical students in the delivery of high value care (HVC) in the […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Graduate medical education (GME) comprises residents and fellows being trained at a hospital but also providing essential patient care. At academic hospitals, residents and fellows are often the front-line physicians and an integral part of the interprofessional team. The Accreditation Council for GME (ACGME) requires annual participation by residents and fellows in quality improvement […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Race and racism are social determinants of health resulting in marginalized groups often experiencing worse health outcomes. These racial differences are often due to physician bias as well as biased processes. To mitigate this, it is recommended that clinicians avoid reifying racial differences as biological differences. This study describes the use of racial identifiers […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Many institutions rely on informal training for internal medicine (IM) residents about how to provide effective discharge communication to patients and their caregivers. Complete instructions are essential to safe transitions of care. At our institution, we evaluated baseline knowledge of these topics among IM residents, and assessed how an educational module impacted residents’ knowledge, […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: Communication is recognized by the LCME and ACGME as an essential competency with significant patient safety implications; the Joint Commission cites communication errors as a major cause of sentinel events. Consultation is a near-universal method of communication between physicians of all disciplines. However, formal education in requesting a consultation is inconsistent in undergraduate medical education […]
