Background: Effective provider communication improves patients’ satisfaction, engagement, and health outcomes. Sitting at the bedside may improve communication; however, many providers do not regularly sit during inpatient encounters. We conducted a controlled pre-post evaluation of adding wall-mounted folding chairs inside the entrance of patient rooms, coupled with education, to increase sitting at the bedside by […]

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: Point-of-Care-Ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly recognized as a useful diagnostic tool in hospital medicine. US-based resident physicians are increasingly trained in the use of POCUS, but education and training for hospitalist attendings may lag behind creating a potential safety gap in supervision. We developed a test assessing knowledge of routine applications of POCUS used in […]

Background: An increasing amount of literature demonstrates the detrimental impact of discrimination and microaggressions at personal and institutional levels in the healthcare workplace (1-5). Confronting these displays of bias involves a multifaceted approach across professional disciplines and hierarchies. Residency is a time when physicians experience and learn to navigate bias (6). To address this, we […]

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: A career in medicine is undoubtedly demanding and often takes a toll on the mental health of the individuals employed in this setting. Residents are an especially vulnerable population. In this study we aim to assess different aspects of resident life that might contribute to mental stress during residency such as a collegial work […]

Background: Senior residents often serve as the primary educator for medical students and interns on their inpatient medicine rotations. Additionally, the act of teaching enhances the resident’s own knowledge acquisition and retention. Although residents desire to teach more, insufficient time is a barrier to preparing and providing teaching. Thus, senior residents require adequate resources to […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Resident work rounds (RWR) serve as the venue for team-based patient interaction, subsequent patient care planning, and education through didactics and observation. However, the expectations of RWR are unclear; do residents continue to see patients and is teaching still expected? If not, what barriers exist? Few studies examining RWR structure have been done however […]

Background: Multidisciplinary (MDR) team rounds were established at Halifax hospital as daily, dedicated interactions between varying members of the care team on each inpatient floor. Members of the care team include physicians, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, and case managers. These multidisciplinary interactions allow for smooth, real-time, and accurate information that facilitate communication and enhance the […]
