15. LIC Component 23 Uninterrupted Weeks – No unexcused absences – Plan for extra sessions if necessary – Notify the Region a.s.a.p. for issues

16. Continuity Patients Five (5) per discipline Deliberate follow-up At least 3 encounters/patient Partner in management

17. Assessments Early Warning at 4 weeks Mid-LIC (Formative)at 8-12 weeks End-LIC (Summative) at 23 weeks – Simplified: 8-9 questions Based on Entrustable Professional Activities

18. Assessments Early Warning – After four (4) sessions – Four (4) Questions Knowledge: Appropriate? Skill: Appropriate? Attitude: Interested and eager to learn? Behavior: Punctual, Professional?

19. Assessments (mid LIC, end LIC) 1. Appropriate History and Physical? 2. Appropriate Differential Diagnosis? 3. Recommend and Interpret Appropriate Tests? 4. Recommend Treatment Plans/Counseling? 5. Appropriate Oral Presentation of an Encounter? 6. Appropriate Documentation of an Encounter? 7. Professional, Punctual, Polite? 8. Eager, asks questions, seeks information?

20. Example Assessment Question Can the student gather a pertinent history and perform an appropriate exam?  N/A: I was unable to assess /evaluate this skill  Incomplete or unfocused; forgets important history components or fails to notice important exam findings  Obtains most pertinent information and identifies most common findings; forgets some commonly-missed details or subtle exam findings  History and exam are always complete, precise, detailed, focused and organized; elicits subtle findings

21. Example Assessment Question Can the student develop a prioritized differential diagnosis and select a provisional diagnosis?  N/A: I was unable to assess /evaluate this skill  Frequently misinterprets data; diagnoses are frequently incorrect or not well prioritized.  Usually creates a reasonable differential diagnosis and correct provisional diagnosis; makes common misinterpretations of data or forgets some less-common diagnoses.  Broad mastery of knowledge, understands complex issues and includes major and minor problems; insightful prioritization.

22. Logging Continuity Patients: – 5 per Discipline Skills: – Two Times per 23 weeks Directly-Observed History-Taking Directly-Observed Physical Exam Directly-Observed Counseling Diagnoses Encountered:

23. Block Rotations 4 weeks of Inpatient Adult Medicine (IM or FM) 4 weeks of Inpatient Surgery 1 week of Anesthesia 3 weeks of Inpatient OB/GYN 3 weeks of Inpatient Psychiatry 2 weeks of Inpatient Pediatrics 4 weeks of “Elective” (P/F) 2 weeks of “Selectives” (P/F) Includes ½ day per week of CED

25. Inpatient Blocks Learning Objectives have been revised. – Syllabi will be distributed Continuity Patients – can be followed to the LIC, or from the LIC Logging still required Assessments: – Mid block (logged) – End-of-Block – Shift Cards

26. Assessments 1. Appropriate History and Physical? 2. Appropriate Differential Diagnosis? 3. Recommend and Interpret Appropriate Tests? 4. Recommend Treatment Plans/Counseling? 5. Appropriate Oral Presentation of an Encounter? 6. Appropriate Documentation of an Encounter? 7. Professional, Punctual, Polite? 8. Eager, asks questions, seeks information?
