A #meded paper I love:

Using cognitive mapping to define key domains for successful attending rounds.

Roy B, et al. J Gen Intern Med. 2012 (with @medrants as final author)

Literally changed how I approach attending on wards and self assess. . . no exaggeration.

Here’s what learners want from us—these five attributes:

1) Learning Atmosphere
2) Clinical Teaching
3) Teaching Style
4) Communicating Expectations
5) Team Management

I keep these on a card in my pocket and intentionally work at them. Soooo doable!

Hand over heart—I kid you not:

When I began to focus on these 5 things, it showed my evaluations. I got much more robust narrative comments and felt like I could finally work on being the best version of ME (instead of what I thought was gold standard.)

Yup.👊🏽

You know what was rated highest? Here’s what they said:

“Teach by example (bedside manner)" (4.50)
"Sharing of attending's thought processes" (4.46)
"Be approachable-not intimidating" (4.45)
"Insist on respect for all team members" (4.43)

Dude. We can so do these things!

Try this out next time you’re attending on wards. Put the 5 distinct domains of attributes on a card. Work at them.

Also remember: Bedside manner & them knowing your clinical thought processes matters a lot.

Yup.

Soooo yeah. Shout out to Dr. Roy, Dr. Centor and their colleagues on a #meded paper that changed the game for this clinician educator.

What #meded paper was #gamechanger for you—and why?
