9 S L I D E 8 Clerkship Checklist

10 S L I D E 9 Didactics- sample

11 S L I D E 10 Evaluation

12 S L I D E 11 Presenting- new patients Set the STAGE –Style: Team dependent- medicine presented here –Timing: usually 7-10 minutes. (depending upon rotation) –Audience: attendings, residents, interns, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists +/- PATIENTS/FAMILIES. –Goals: Convey story of HPI, pertinent findings, summary statement, brief ddx and plan. Create interest in patient! –Elicit feedback- after rounds/that day

13 S L I D E 12 Oral Presentation Outline- TOTAL 5 minutes CC- one or two key complaints HPI- (2 min) –start w pertinent identifiers –Usually start w when current event/illness began –Brief 1-2 paragraph story –End with pertinent +/- elements from past hx, social hx, fam hx, ROS PMH- very brief – no detail unless asked Meds- group by indication Allergies, FH, SH, ROS- only striking issues should be mentioned (15-30 sec) Exam- ALWAYS start w vitals- aim to interpret when possible; do NOT rattle off entire physical exam (60-75 sec) 30-45 sec

14 S L I D E 13 Outline- cont Data- only report pertinent positive/neg and with interpretation (30 sec) Summary statement- Two to three sentences that put cardinal features of history, physical exam findings, and lab data together –Tip: After write up identify 10 cardinal features  narrow to 3-4=main problem Assessment/Plan- (1-2 min) –Identify main problem: State leading diagnosis –Evidence supporting –Other possibilities (3-4 more in ddx) –Evidence against –Plan- BY PROBLEM: diagnostic studies/therapeutic plan

15 S L I D E 14 Specialty Specific Ob-Gyn- always note gravidity/parity; LMP ED- Source of usual medical care; “iatrogenic stimulus” Surgery- VERY truncated but concise presentation style

16 S L I D E 15 Pitfalls and Solutions #1. Presentation too long THE CAUSE Fear of not presenting all data Can’t prioritize information Too much unnecessary commentary throughout THE TREATMENT 60% rule Emphasize relevance- packing for a trip

17 S L I D E 16 Pitfalls and Solutions #2. Use of distracting Expressions THE CAUSE Student can’t think and talk simultaneously Concerned he/she will be interrupted if period of silence THE TREATMENT 60% rule Tell a story; practice ahead of time Attending should allow no interruptions

18 S L I D E 17 Pitfalls and solutions #3 Lack of eye contact/boring THE CAUSE Discomfort Dependence on notes THE TREATMENT Practice in the mirror; “note card taper” #4 Nervousness THE CAUSE Early in year; “imposter syndrome” THE TREATMENT Remember everyone else on team has been doing this longer Visualize success!

19 S L I D E 18 Example Read Written presentation Watch Oral Presentation Feedback

20 S L I D E 19 Final Tips Include only the most essential facts; but be ready to answer ANY questions about all aspects of your patient. Keep your presentation lively. Do not read the presentation! Expect your listeners to ask questions. Follow the order of the written case report. Keep in mind the limitation of your listeners. Beware of jumping back and forth between descriptions of separate problems. Use the presentation to build your case. Your reasoning process should help the listener consider a differential diagnosis. Present the patient as well as the illness.

21 S L I D E 20 Presenting- follow up patients Set the STAGE –Style: (remember to check with your team) but always problem based. –Timing: usually 3-4 minutes. –Audience: attendings, residents, interns, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and PATIENTS/FAMILIES. –Goals: updates on patient’s condition, diagnostic testing, plans for the day and progress toward discharge. –Elicit feedback.

22 S L I D E 21 What information does the follow-up presentation contain? 1.A brief preamble to remind the team who the patient is and why the patient is admitted to the hospital. 2.A summary of the patient’s current status and overnight issues in the patient’s (or caregiver’s) words. 3.A logical summary of interpreted objective data (vital signs, physical examination findings, and diagnostic test results). These are best presented by problem by problem but CHECK WITH YOUR TEAM.

23 S L I D E 22 Tips for pre-rounding Talk to the patient and caregivers to find out what happened over night. Talk to the nurses to hear what happened overnight. If you can listen to night to day nurse sign out, do so! Check the orders in the computer. Was a blood culture ordered overnight? Why? Review the patient’s vitals, daily weight, ins and outs, look for trends and interpret the values. Same for labs and radiographic studies. Perform a focus exam and remember that pertinent negatives are as important as pertinent positives.

24 S L I D E 23 Pitfalls and Solutions #1. Recapitulation of the full presentation. THE CAUSE Fear of not presenting all data There is one person in the room who missed your full presentation yesterday Poor preparation THE TREATMENT Put the admission note away. Prepare your introductory/summary statement in advance.

25 S L I D E 24 Pitfalls and Solutions #2. Presenting patient data without interpreting it. THE CAUSE The temptation to read back a list of vitals or lab values The worry that you will interpret incorrectly THE TREATMENT Get in early enough to collect data AND read about it Review all of the data as you collect it and interpret it ahead of time Never read off vitals and labs unless asked specifically to do so

26 S L I D E 25 Pitfalls and solutions #3 Omitting progress toward discharge THE CAUSE Losing sight of the big picture in the face of details THE TREATMENT Force yourself to go through the exercise of thinking about discharge and what needs to happen with your patient to get there Prepare ahead of time

27 S L I D E 26 Pitfalls and solutions #4 Having the intern know things that you don’t. THE CAUSE The interns are around when you are not. THE TREATMENT Know where to look: check the chart and CHECK THE ORDERS. Ask the nurses. Don’t count exclusively on the patient/family to tell you what you missed overnight.

28 S L I D E 27 Final tips Make sure that YOU understand all of the information that you present before you present it. Leave extra time for yourself to read if this is what you need to do to understand the data you hold. If you don’t know the answer to a question, the appropriate answer is “I don’t know.” Never say you checked something that you didn’t. Let your personality come through as you present.
