Background: A recent study showed over 80 percent of internal medicine residents reported being uncomfortable or very uncomfortable with dermatologic issues. Formalized teaching in dermatology in medicine residency may be prudent. This teaching could occur in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Our objective was to study the effect of a dermatology curriculum on knowledge and […]

Background: As acting interns (or sub-interns), fourth-year medical students are placed in the intern role to develop skills important for internship. At our institution, this has traditionally occurred on inpatient teaching teams that also include residents, interns, and third-year medical students. Because teaching teams are at times crowded with learners, our acting interns have often […]

Background: Quality improvement (QI) has been recognized as a core component of medical resident training and progressive engagement with QI is required by the American Council of Graduate Medical Education’s Clinical Learning Environment Review. Prior to 2015, no formal QI education was provided within our internal medicine residency program. This deficiency prompted residency program leadership […]

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: Internal medicine training programs have been profoundly impacted by changes in resident duty hours, workloads, and supervisory requirements. Consequentially, it has become increasingly important to re-evaluate and re-formulate traditional methods of teaching to maximize the delivery of clinical education, efficiently identifying and taking advantage of learning opportunities where they may exist. Overnight care […]

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: The concept of using Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in undergraduate medical education (UME) arose because residency program directors noticed a significant decline in their interns’ ability to perform the basic skills required of them upon starting residency. The internal medicine (IM) sub-internship (sub-I) rotation is primed to address the EPAs especially pertinent to the […]

Background: The transition from adolescent to adult care has been associated with worse outcomes including increased mortality (1). Improved patient experience (PEX) correlates with decreased inpatient mortality rates and better adherence to quality guidelines (2) as well as lower 30- day readmission rates for patients with heart failure, acute MI and pneumonia (3). Hospitalized adolescents […]

Background: The role of the clerkship director (CD) in Internal Medicine (IM) has been increasingly recognized and valued as a ‘legitimate pathway towards academic advancement. We hypothesized that salary support for the IM CD has lagged behind the recommended 0.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) put forth by Pangaro and colleagues. Methods: In 2016, Clerkship Directors in […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Diagnostic consultations between the General Internal Medicine (GIM) departments and specialty departments are becoming increasingly important to achieve team-based diagnosis and diagnostic excellence, but there have been limited studies on the appropriateness of the GIM diagnostic consultations with specialty departments. We conducted this study to clarify the appropriateness of diagnostic consultations from the GIM […]
