A novel hospitalist peer observation program to improve educational and operational rounding practices.

Academic 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.

TaskMaster: The Subintern Adventure Game-Game-Based Learning for Medical Subintern Task Prioritization.

However, the skills required of a successful subintern-efficiency, patient triage, and advanced organization-are distinct from skills generally refined during the medicine clerkship. Few published curricula exist to prepare postclerkship students for success in this new role.
