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 […]

Background: Enhanced physician-nurse collaboration improves patient outcomes. Current interprofessional clinical learning environments, however, rarely engage physicians with nurses and are not based on high-performance team frameworks. Therefore, leaders at the University of Chicago Medicine developed the Improving GME Nursing Interprofessional Team Experiences (IGNITE) program to engage interprofessional healthcare teams, with hospitalist coaches, in institutional performance […]

Background: Acknowledging that a successful career in hospital medicine (HM) may require specialized skills, residency programs have developed hospital medicine-focused education (HMFE) programs. Surveys of internal medicine residency leaders have described HMFE curricula but are limited to that specialty and lack input from early career hospitalists (ECHs) who recently completed this training. Therefore, we surveyed […]

Background: Internist trainees have traditionally acquired radiology skills in a piecemeal manner, either through elective rotations or through informal “radiology rounds” on inpatient medicine rotations. here is no comprehensive curriculum for teaching basic radiology to internal medicine (IM) residents, and their image interpretation skills are limited (1). Additionally, the rise of the electronic medical record […]

Background: Every year, as many as 98,000 people die from medical errors within the hospital, making medical errors one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States(1). While the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has incorporated healthcare quality and patient safety into the Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) program […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Diagnostic point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an ACGME requirement in emergency medicine and critical care training programs. Though many POCUS applications are equally relevant to internal medicine (IM), there are no formal guidelines for IM residencies and few faculty use POCUS in their own practice. Hence, the optimal method to teach POCUS to IM residents […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: Hospitalization of the patient with advanced cancer can be a pivotal moment and opportunity to explore patient goals of care in order to deliver high value, patient-centered care that emphasizes quality of life. Part of this discussion should define patient preferences regarding code status as it is known that prognosis is extremely poor and […]

Background: Biases related to people with substance use disorder (SUD) actually increase during time spent in formal medical education, and continue into practice. Leading health professional education groups across medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work, including the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), have recognized addressing substance use disorders including stigma and bias as a […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: An effective patient safety and quality improvement (QI) curriculum is imperative for graduate medical education (GME) training programs. Yet many health systems are lacking pedagogical training in these methods. Learning often takes the form of group project work, yet projects may not reflect institutional priorities, duplicate ongoing efforts, or remain unfinished after allotted time […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Hospital discharge summaries are critical to transitions of care as they are oftentimes the only substantive form of communication that accompanies patients to their next care setting. The lack of interoperability in our healthcare IT ecosystem amplifies the need for discharge summaries to mitigate subsequent duplication of services and increased costs. These documents must […]
