A novel hospitalist peer observation program to improve educational and operational rounding practices
AbstractAcademic hospitalists must balance trainee education with operational demands to round efficiently and optimize hospital throughput. Peer observation has been shown to support educator development, however, few hospitalists have formal training to optimize both skill sets. We sought to extend and adapt peer observation programs to equally focus on education and operations-based outcomes. During the 2-year study period, 76 of 98 (78%) eligible faculty participated in a structured, real-time peer observation program. Immediately after observing a peer, 42% of respondents planned to adopt an operations-related roundin...

The transition to Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowship: A national survey ‐based needs assessment
ConclusionsMany PHM fellows enter fellowship feeling inadequately prepared, particularly in scholarship and teaching. Our findings suggest that residency and fellowship programs need to develop more robust curricula to better prepare trainees for successful PHM fellowship. This national survey-based needs assessment should serve as a guide for further program development. (Source: Journal of Hospital Medicine)

Association between inpatient team continuity and clerkship student academic performance
ConclusionsIncreased inpatient team continuity is associated with students receiving higher preceptor ratings and achieving a higher final pediatric clerkship grade. While the mechanisms driving these associations remain unknown, the results add to the literature base supporting the importance of preceptor continuity in undergraduate medical education.
