As part of a team engagement project and effort to mirror the ACGME's milestones initiative, the presenters crafted "Milestones for Program Administrators" in 2013, and subsequently presented them at both APDIM and ACGME national conferences. Milestones were organized under professional competencie…

Morning report is a nearly ubiquitous exercise in approximately 500 internal medicineresidencies. While historically it has been used to report clinical data on new inpatients, the form has evolved. It is a conference of many forms, purposes, and methods that is usually cited by trainees as the most…

Many residency programs use a night float system to comply with residency duty hours. Residents often view night float as a "service" rotation that does not provide rich learning experiences or directed educational opportunities, partly due to being unable to participate in daytime didactic sessions…

Postdocs are the backbone of lab research that makes the bench to bedside discoveries in medicine a reality. Unlike residents or fellows who enter the system at a specific date, postdocs can join the research enterprise at any day! Most institutions have office of postdoctoral affairs who manage th…

Clinical reasoning is an essential skill held by physicians that is taught and modeled throughout medical education. However, researchers have communicated difficulty associated with administering clinical reasoning instruction and assessments during medical student clerkship experiences. Challenges…

As we see the global impacts of climate change directly contribute to an increased burden of natural disasters in the world, residency programs must be prepared to quickly respond to these and other man-made emergencies to ensure safety in patient care. Having a well-constructed response plan and st…

ACGME milestones and entrustable professional activities (EPAs) have been developed to track trainee growth and facilitate competency-based medical education. However, the ability to apply them and optimize an individual trainee's educational experience during a specific rotation is often challenged…

ACGME, CLER environment, health systems metrics, and Quintuple Aim acknowledge the rapidly evolving landscape of health care delivery and patient centered care.

Assessment design and implementation can be a challenging task. Making assessment make sense, listening to the priorities of learners and faculty, and figuring out how to make assessment work in unique contexts are no easy tasks! Indeed, rapidly implementing new evaluation tools to meet changing acc…

Anticipated physician shortages are staggering in the United States, specifically in areas with limited access. Expansion of residency positions across all specialties is needed to address this impending access crisis. Starting a new ACGME-accredited residency or fellowship subspecialty program is c…

The aim of this workshop is to offer program directors and associate program directors the tools for developing and sustaining a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training program at their internal medicine residency program. This seminar will include the steps taken by our program to start and maint…
