INPATIENT MEDICINE • Very different than ambulatory medicine and family medicine • Structure: – Non-call days: pre-round, run the list with the intern/resident, rounds, help with the workload (calling consults, procedures, outside records, etc. ) + educational activities – Call days: same structure as above while admitting new patients throughout the day (may formally present the patient that day or the next day) • THOROUGHNESS is key “How to Thrive” Webinar Series www. amsa. org
AMBULATORY AND FAMILY MEDICINE • Ambulatory medicine and family medicine are similar • Structure: short patient visits, on-thespot assessment and plan, may work directly with the attending • EFFICIENCY is key www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
PART 1 THE PATIENT www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
GENERAL PRINCIPLES • The patient ALWAYS comes first • It may not feel like it, but you have much more time than your residents, so read about your patients and know each of them well www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
PATIENT CARE • Good rapport goes a long way • Take full responsibility for your patients, but still rely on the rest of the team • A good history and physical exam, documented in a well-written note and presented during rounds, is FOUNDATIONAL – Medical students are expected to be good information-gatherers www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
PROBLEM LISTING • Inpatient: – First problem: chief complaint, or most serious problem – Any other patient complaints, abnormal physical exam findings, abnormal labs/studies – Chronic problems – Finish with FEN/GI/PPx, code, disposition • Outpatient: – Finish with health care maintenance www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
REFERENCES • • Medicine handbook Up. To. Date Pub. Med Read case reports www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series

PART 2 THE TEAM www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
“Show me a [med student] who only triples my work and I will kiss his feet. ” - Law #11, House of God www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
GENERAL PRINCIPLES • Team structure, inpatient vs. outpatient • How to impress your attending – Good patient presentations and notes – Teaching – Staying engaged during rounds – Being a team player and NEVER throwing your coworkers under the bus • Ask for feedback, letters of recommendation “How to Thrive” Webinar Series www. amsa. org
PRESENTING YOUR PATIENTS • Inpatient vs. outpatient presentations • There is no perfect presentation, each attending is different and has different expectations! • A concise presentation is the hallmark of clinical maturity, but you have to first earn the trust of your team – Include only the pertinent items – Exclude extraneous information • HOWEVER, you must first earn the trust of your team before making your presentations concise “How to Thrive” Webinar Series www. amsa. org
PRESENTING YOUR PATIENTS • Assessment/Plan section is where you display your reasoning, and is how attendings will judge you • A good A/P sets you apart from many students that act only as information gatherers • Oral presentation guidelines, Steve Mc. Gee (https: //catalyst. uw. edu/workspace/medsp/3 0311/202905) www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
TEACHING • Provide teaching to the team: – Short summary of a topic – Presenting a paper • When and how this is done is team and workload dependent www. amsa. org “How to Thrive” Webinar Series
