Overview

Residents join an outpatient general internal medicine (GIM) clinical practice with an expectation that they are the primary care physicians for a panel of patients. Pre-residency exposure to outpatient GIM varies along with medical knowledge and patient care comfort in the outpatient setting. Additionally, residency program curriculum is often geared towards inpatient GIM or IM specialty talks. Those of us that practice in the outpatient GIM clinical sphere wanted to find a way to help bridge the gap of outpatient GIM clinical knowledge and ignite excitement in residents through the creation of a unique educational session.  We will present a shortened version of our Primary Care Hour Palooza interacting with attendees. The educational session framework includes a brief journal club, residents sharing about patients they saw that week, and then a core topic is presented with built in questions or polls to bolster engagement and camaraderie during the educational session. Participants will work in pairs or small groups to construct their own Primary Care Hour Palooza. Then a large group discussion will allow for sharing of ideas amongst participants. Attendees will have a blueprint to bring back to their home institutions to work towards creating change in the general internal medicine clinic setting and innovations at their institutions, considering ACGME core requirements in domains of patient care, medical knowledge, quality improvement, and communication skills.
