Background: Several institutions have implemented a medical procedure service (MPS) to improve timeliness of bedside procedures and standardize performance and training of procedures by internal medicine (IM) residents (1-2). A critical barrier to starting an MPS has been a lack of experienced proceduralists (3). In 2011, our IM residency program created an MPS led by […]

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 […]

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 […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Patient experience is increasingly recognized as a measure of healthcare quality and patient-centered care. However, there is insufficient understanding of patient expectations during hospitalization, and of how these are perceived by physicians, nurses, and administrators. The best way to apply the HCAHPS ratings remain elusive due to variability in practice environments, patient and clinician […]
