Improving medical students' responses to emergencies with a simulated cross-cover paging curriculum.

New residents are often unprepared to respond to medical emergencies. To address this gap, we implemented a simulated cross-cover paging curriculum. All senior medical students enrolled in a required specialty-specific (internal medicine, procedures, emergency medicine [EM], obstetrics and gynecology [OBGYN], family medicine and pediatrics) residency preparation course (RPC) in 2020-2021 participated.

Certified Nurse-Midwives as Teachers: Expanding Interprofessional Collaboration Learning Opportunities for Medical Students on the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship.

Introduction: Interprofessional experiences provide critical exposure to collaborative health care teams, yet medical students often lack this experience during clinical clerkships. We created a labor and delivery triage rotation exclusively staffed by certified nurse-midwives in the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship to address this gap. We sought to evaluate the clinical learning experiences of medical students rotating on this midwife-supervised collaborative team.

The power of written word: Reflection reduces errors of omission.

Background: Medical trainees are expected to perform complex tasks while experiencing interruptions, which increases susceptibility to errors of omission. In our study, we examine whether documentation of clinical encounters increases reflective thinking and reduces errors of omission among novice learners in a simulated setting.

Methods: In 2021, 56 senior medical students participated in a simulated paging curriculum involving urgent inpatient cross-cover scenarios (sepsis and atrial fibrillation).

Internal medicine paging curriculum to improve physician-nurse interprofessional communication: a single center pilot study.

Effective physician-nurse communication is critical to patient safety, yet internal medicine trainees are rarely given feedback on this skill. In order to address this gap, we developed a 4-week simulated paging curriculum for senior medical students. Standardized Registered Nurses administered five acute inpatient paging cases to students via telephone and scored communication on a 10-point global scale (1 =  to 10 = ) and seven communication domains using a 5-point Likert-type scale.

The decline in attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration from medical school to residency.

While interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of optimal patient care, practicing physicians often have sub-optimal attitudes regarding the importance of collaboration with their nursing colleagues. The impact of clinical training on medical students' and residents' attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration has not been investigated. The primary goal of our study was to examine if learners at different stages in their medical training had more or less favorable attitudes regarding interprofessional collaboration (IPC).

Identifying Medical Student Mistreatment in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship.

Objective: To characterize the mistreatment identified within the University of Michigan's Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) clerkship and compare the rates of mistreatment to that of other clerkships in an effort to improve the learning environment.

Design: This is a retrospective cohort study looking at multiple sources of data from 2015 to 2018 about student mistreatment including end-of-rotation and teaching evaluations completed by students, as well as an online reporting system available to medical students. For evaluations, students were asked to rate their agreement with statements on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, to 5 = strongly agree).

Multidisciplinary approach to manage antenatally suspected placenta percreta: updated algorithm and patient outcomes.

Background: Due to the significant morbidity and mortality associated with placenta percreta, alternative management options are needed. Beginning in 2005, our institution implemented a multidisciplinary strategy to patients with suspected placenta percreta. The purpose of this study is to present our current strategy, maternal morbidity and outcomes of patients treated by our approach.

Providing Informed Consent: A Standardized Case.

Introduction: From the first day of residency, residents may be required to consent patients for interventions, procedures, or tests. The ability to perform an informed consent is considered one of the Association of American Medical College's Core Entrustable Professional Activities for entering residency. This case provides learners with the opportunity to obtain informed consent for a lumbar puncture procedure and to receive immediate structured feedback on their performance.
