Background: Educational efforts targeting diagnostic reasoning have been proposed by the National Academy of Medicine as a means to reduce diagnostic errors. Building on situativity theory, which describes how the context in which we reason impacts our diagnostic ability, teaching diagnostic reasoning should ideally occur in tandem with patient care. Tracking patient outcomes can improve […]

Background: The Association of American Medical Colleges identifies consideration of social determinants of health (SDoH) and patient-specific factors as key components of entrustable professional activities (Englander 2016). Prior studies of medical students and Internal Medicine (IM) residents demonstrated baseline gaps in integrating SDoH into clinical reasoning (CR) in the outpatient setting (Schwartz 2010, Wilhite 2020), […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly being used across medical specialties, improving diagnostic accuracy in numerous medical presentations and levels of acuity. Training in these skills is currently offered through major societies, but graduate medical POCUS training in internal medicine and family medicine is not common in US residencies. Therefore, we designed a two-week inpatient […]

Background: Interprofessionalism is an increasingly important part of hospitalist clinical practice, allowing providers to maximize the breadth of care provided to patients. As a result, teaching Interprofessional (IP) skills has become an integral part of Undergraduate Medical Education (UME), as guided by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice . At […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Critical event management skills are required for resident training. Critical events include rapid response events, acute clinical decompensation, and code blue events. Evidence supports simulation-based training to improve mastery and retention of these skills. We recognized a need for resident training in critical event management following concerns raised by interprofessional teams and safety event […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Though the ACGME dictates that Internal medicine residents should be exposed to the domains of quality improvement (QI) and medical education (Med Ed), most residency programs provide limited opportunities to develop these skills. Furthermore, most existing hospital medicine electives which attempt to cover these topics are 4 weeks in length. Purpose: We sought to […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: POCUS is increasingly being used across medical specialties, and adds value to diagnostic accuracy for numerous pathologies and levels of acuity. Emergency Medicine providers were early adapters, providing examples of how POCUS increases patient satisfaction and diagnostic clarity (1, 2). Internal Medicine and Family Medicine have been slower to adopt this technology; however, general […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Racism is a public health crisis impacting patients and healthcare workers. Antiracist education is not typical in undergraduate or graduate medical education curriculum. Discriminatory practices in health care result in worse patient outcomes in Black, Indigenous, & People of Color (BIPOC). Committing to antiracist work is the first step in addressing racism and must […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Procedural complications are a common source of adverse events in hospitalized patients(1, 2). In academic centers, bedside procedures have traditionally been performed by trainees, often without experienced proceduralist supervision, or referred to interventional radiology or consultant services, often with an associated delay in procedure performance. Many trainees report discomfort with their skill in performing […]
