Introduction: Although Clinician Educator Tracks (CETs) have been developed for postgraduate trainees, more clarity is needed regarding which competencies are most relevant to resident and fellow physicians (housestaff) seeking to become Clinician Educators (CEs).
Methods: We used the Clinician Educator Milestones, an established framework for competencies at the faculty level, to perform a targeted needs assessment at a large academic institution from April-May 2023. Educational leaders in undergraduate (UME), graduate (GME) and senior medical education (SME) leadership roles were asked to prioritise the Clinician Educator Milestones subcompetencies for a 1-year track.

Background: With an increasing demand for critical care expertise and limitations in intensivist availability, innovative staffing models, such as the utilization of advanced practice providers (APPs), have emerged.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare patient outcomes between APP and housestaff teams in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU).
Methods: This retrospective study, spanning March 2022 to July 2023, compares patient characteristics and outcomes between two CICU teams embedded in the same CICU at a large urban academic hospital: one staffed by housestaff and the other by APPs (80% physician assistants, 20% nurse practitioners) who each had approximately 1 to 2 years of experience in the CICU.

Switzerland already suffers from the long-predicted shortage of physicians. Moreover, the latter often face long and meandering postgraduate training. At the beginning of their career, most doctors work on internal medicine hospital wards, even though their future may just as well lie in an outpatient or inpatient setting, in general internal medicine or in other disciplines.

Background: Abdominal paracentesis is a frequently performed procedure in hospitalised patients with ascites. Concurrently, most hospitalised adult patients receive pharmacologic anticoagulation, either for therapeutic purposes or prophylactically to prevent venous thromboembolism. Despite this, minimal evidence exists to guide management of anticoagulant therapy pre- and post-paracentesis.

Objective: MRI utilization in the United States is relatively higher than in other parts of the world and inpatient MRI utilization is particularly difficult to manage given the lack of direct reimbursement. Body MRI studies present an opportunity to reduce inpatient MRI utilization since they are generally the least emergent. Our objective was to use a targeted questionnaire to probe the necessity of inpatient body MRI orders and present an opportunity to either cancel them or transition them to the outpatient realm METHODS: A 9-item questionnaire was devised asking questions about the urgency of the inpatient MRI order including the urgent management question, an inpatient procedure or whether it was recommended by a consultant.
