Background: Residents are uniquely positioned to learn from and contribute to informatics. As key electronic health record (EHR) users, they offer practical solutions and feedback. Resident informatics engagement promotes EHR proficiency and accelerates implementation of best practices and quality improvement. Understanding how clinical data are structured creates a foundation for future scientific inquiry using clinical […]

Background: Nationally, internal medicine (IM) residency programs have been struggling with the balance of protecting residents from exposure to COVID-19, ensuring they are sufficiently trained in general medicine while still teaching them about a new disease process and preparing them to help fight the pandemic (1). Anxiety is common amongst providers in a pandemic, especially […]

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 […]

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: Communication between hospital and outpatient clinicians is a key component to successful care transitions for older adults, yet this communication is frequently lacking. In addition, residents in academic medical centers are not routinely provided with feedback about post-discharge outcomes or opportunities for improvement. Purpose: To implement weekly video conferences that utilize the electronic medical […]

Background: Balancing attending supervision with resident autonomy is intended to ensure patient safety while allowing trainees to gain graduated competency and independence upon completion of residency. ACGME work-hour restrictions have increased attending supervision, but its effect on resident education and autonomy is unclear. In order to better understand the underlying tensions and contributing factors to […]

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 […]

SHM Converge 2023
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 […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
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 […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
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) […]
