A Mixed-Methods Program Evaluation of a Self-directed Learning Panel Management Curriculum in an Internal Medicine Residency Clinic.

Background: Panel management (PM) curricula in internal medicine (IM) residency programs often assign performance measures which may not address the varied interests or needs of resident-learners.

Aim: To evaluate a self-directed learning (SDL)-based PM curriculum.

Setting: University-based primary care practice in Burlington, Vermont.

Effect of Patient Safety Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residents on a Health Care System.

Background: Healthcare organizations seeking to promote a safety culture depend on engaged clinicians. Academic medical centers include a community of physicians-in-training; however, medical residents and fellows are historically less engaged in patient safety (PS) than are other clinicians. Increased attention has been focused on integrating PS into graduate medical education.

Partnering With Patients in a Quality Improvement Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residents.

Patient experience is a core component of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Triple Aim for health care improvement. Although resident physicians must meet quality improvement (QI) competencies prior to graduation, QI training during residency may not adequately prepare residents to improve patient and family experience. We describe an active learning QI curriculum engaging 3 Patient and Family Advisors as partners alongside 15 resident physicians.

Improving Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Hospitalized Adults: A Quality Initiative.

The American Diabetes Association recommends scheduled basal and nutritional insulin doses as the preferred treatment for noncritically ill hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes; however, the adoption of these practices remains suboptimal. We sought to understand current diabetes management practices and improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes on the Hospital Medicine Services at our academic medical center. We surveyed resident and attending physicians to understand barriers to guideline-based practice.
