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 […]

Background: Unlike other chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus and heart disease, substance use disorder (SUD) has only recently been recognized by the medical community recently as a medical condition, and stigmatizing beliefs have lingered. Formal teaching about SUD has been shown to foster a more positive attitude towards these patients among medical trainees. Attitudes […]

Background: The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is an essential tool when evaluating patients with suspected cardiopulmonary disease and inaccurate ECG interpretation may result in adverse patient outcomes. The Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine stated that ECG interpretation should be a skill required for medical school transition to residency. Yet, prior research indicates graduating medical students correctly […]

Background: The transition from internal medicine resident to early-career hospitalist signals the end of structured clinical feedback in the residency training model. This abrupt transition can impact well-being and the continued formation of self-directed learning skills. In addition, studies have shown an association between practicing in the first year as a hospitalist and inferior patient […]

Background: Feedback in clinical training is essential to reinforce positive behaviors and to provide areas for improvement. Numeric ratings from student performance evaluations are helpful but are not sufficient to guide the learner about where they may be excelling and where they may need additional development. Narrative written feedback both reinforces verbal feedback and provides […]

Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) sets strict guidelines governing work hours for internal medicine trainees, not to exceed 80 hours per week. Though many programs grapple with achieving adherence, few published studies report successful changes to meet these limits. Previous efforts at our institution to reduce patient census on the teaching […]

Background: Nearly 6 million pediatric patients are discharged from the hospital yearly in the United States (AHRQ 2012), and social determinants of health (SDoH) impact discharge outcomes (Nacht 2022). Effective discharge planning prevents patient readmissions (Shapiro 2021), but the literature on how best to educate pediatric trainees is limited (Key-Solle 2010, Widmer 2015). We assessed […]

Background: Medical students report that approximately 1/3 of their medical education is provided by residents. As a moderate sized community-based hospital, we conducted a needs assessment about our residents’ attitudes and comfort with teaching medical students, which identified residents did not feel prepared to teach medical students nor feel confident in creating teaching talks, and […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Current literature shows that many graduating health-professional students are not adequately trained to identify safety hazards [1]. With early integration of patient safety education in medical student education, we hope to reduce the occurrence of adverse events longitudinally throughout an individual’s medical career. Data demonstrates that patient safety simulations are an effective method to […]
