Time Well Spent: Resident Promotion of Microcompetency-Based Medical Education During Inpatient Pediatric Experiences

It is March and a new group of medical students have matched into our residency, but as a current resident, my role remains fixed. I am the senior resident on an inpatient pediatrics night rotation, charged with supervising Jack, a pediatric intern. Over the first few nights of the rotation, I directly observed Jack as he performed several complete history and physical examinations. He was thorough and demonstrated excellent communication with families. Afterward, he explained his medical reasoning to me, and it was clear that he had a strong knowledge base and sound medical reasoning.
