Background: Direct observation is important, yet medical residents are rarely observed. We implemented and evaluated a direct observation program in resident clinics to increase the frequency of observation and feedback and improve perceptions about direct observation.
Methods: We assigned faculty as observers in our resident clinics between June 2019 and February 2020.
Background: Residents report low satisfaction with faculty evaluation and feedback. To improve skills, successful faculty development interventions must be accessible and acceptable.
Methods: A faculty development survey was admin- istered to 145 specialty and non-specialty Internal Medicine faculty at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI.

The patient's clinical course was complicated by multiple medical challenges, extensive metastases, and persistent infection. This confusing presentation of a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) highlights the diverse and often misleading manifestations of this aggressive malignancy.
