A Growing Mandate in American Medicine: Teaching Our Internal Medicine Residents About Healthcare Administration and Leadership.

Leadership training during residency is essential for the successful development of contemporary physicians. Creating a curriculum for healthcare leadership and administration for internal medicine residents is particularly challenging due to the heterogeneity of leadership curricula across programs, the emphasis on individual advancement rather than collective leadership, and the scarcity of published research on the topic. A healthcare administration and leadership rotation for medical residents is a valuable experience that emphasizes the importance of contextualizing education on leadership and building relationships to achieve organizational goals.

Partnering With Residents on the Redesign of the Internal Medicine Resident Self-Evaluation Form.

Introduction: The positive impact of resident-driven synthesis of assessment data has been associated with increased intrinsic motivation to learn and create an individualized strategy to improve performance. The objective of the study was to incorporate residents' recommendations for restructuring the self-assessment metric into a tool that will promote a well-organized and effective self-improvement plan.

Materials And Methods: Residents and faculty collaborated on pre- and post-intervention questionnaires to assess the barriers to the timely completion of the current self-evaluation form and gather information on the tool's ability to stimulate the formation of concrete goals.

An Adult With Agenesis of Splenium of Corpus Callosum: A Case Report.

A 22-year-old Hispanic immigrant presented to the emergency department after having a witnessed seizure. The patient was born and raised in Columbia and had a history of ventricular septal defect repair at the age of five years. Computer tomography (CT) of brain showed an unusual demonstration -"heterotopia of gray matter"- and the follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed absence of splenium part of corpus callosum.

A structured workshop to improve the quality of resident discharge summaries.

Background: Poor communication at hospital discharge can increase the risk of adverse events. The hospital discharge summary is the most common tool for detailing events related to hospitalization in preparation for postdischarge follow-up, yet deficiencies in discharge summaries have been widely reported. Resident physicians are expected to dictate discharge summaries but receive little formal training in this arena.
