1/ “I had so much more I wanted to teach or discuss about our patient with hyponatremia, but I couldn’t fit it on rounds. What should I do?”
Check out the following thread for some high-yield tips on teaching after hours! 2/ As a reminder, we are still in our series on inpatient teaching.

1/ Happy Tweetorial Tuesday!
You just start on a busy clinical service, and on the first day, your students and residents mention they would like more chalk talks on common things they see on the wards.
This week we'll talk about giving effective chalk talks 2/ Chalk talks can be given during or after rounds, although the latter is often more feasible.
Compared to didactic talks, their focus is narrower and their relevance to patient care is more readily apparent.
Clinical pearls? Evidence based medicine? Are we trying to mix oil and water?
Don't worry, your #MedEdTwagTeam crew is here to help with this week's thread! 2/ The clinical pearl bridges our learner's clinical observations and their developing evidence-based practice.
Our learners are often navigating so much clinical data that a well-timed and well-crafted pearl can help them navigate challenging dx & mgmt scenarios
Hypothesis-driven history? Bedside rounds? How do we put it all together?
Don't worry, your #MedEdTwagTeam crew is here to help with this week's thread! 2/ Last week, we emphasized the why of teaching and using hypothesis-driven history.
Welcome back to the #MedEdTwagTeam threads on all things teaching, feedback, and so much more.
We have exciting stuff to help you level up your bedside history and physical examination teaching skills in the coming weeks. 2/ We are still covering the foundations of inpatient teaching. This week, we will be focusing on strategies to improve hypothesis-driven history taking at the bedside during rounds.

Hey #medtwitter! I am giving a go at my first #MedEd#Tweetorial! I want to review my top 10 trials of 2019 inspired by my talk @UTHSC_Medicine on 2019 GIM updates. Thanks to @cjchiu for the inspiration and encouragement to do this!
1) POC CRP to Guide Antibiotic Treatment for COPD trial:
- RCT of 636 patients with GOLD stage II COPD seen at 86 clinics for AECOPD
- 20.4% absolute difference in self-reported abx use with no difference in COPD-related health at 4 weeks
- Maybe a CRP a day keeps the abx away
