Abstract Background Morning report is accepted as an essential component of residency education throughout different parts of the world. Objective To review the evidence of the educational value, purpose, methods, and outcomes of morning report. Methods A literature search of PubMed, Ovid, and the Cochrane Library for English-language studies published between January 1, 1966, and October 31, 2011, was performed. We searched for keywords and Medical Subject Heading terms related to medical education, methods, attitudes, and outcomes in regard to “morning report.” Title and abstract review, followed by a full-text review by 3 authors, was performed to identify all pertinent articles. Results We identified 71 citations; 40 articles were original studies and 31 were commentaries, editorials, or review articles; 56 studies (79%) originated from internal medicine residency programs; 6 studies (8%) focused on ambulatory morning report; and 63 (89%) originated from the United States. Identified studies varied in objectives, methods, and outcome measures, and were not suitable for meta-analysis. Main outcome measures were resident satisfaction, faculty satisfaction, preparation for professional examinations, use of evidence-based medicine, clinical effects on patient care, adverse event detection, and utilization of a curriculum in case selection. Conclusions Morning report has heterogeneous purposes, methods, and settings. As an educational tool, morning report is challenging to define, its outcome is difficult to measure, and this precludes firm conclusions about its contribution to resident education or patient care. Residency programs should tailor morning report to meet their own unique educational objectives and needs.

Unique Part

Philip S. Hench, MD, the first Mayo Clinic rheumatologist, came to Mayo Clinic in 1921. Because of his efforts in patient care, education, and research, and those of his colleagues, Mayo Clinic has been considered the first academic rheumatology center established in the United States. An early, popular lecture he gave to the internal medicine residents was an important and unique part of the rheumatology education program and was entitled “Axiomatic Generalizations Useful in the Diagnosis of Rheumatic Diseases.” We review the axioms in light of the status of rheumatology in the 1920s and 1930s when they were written, and assess their relevance today, 70 to 80 years later.

Practicing anthropology at an academic community hospital involves collaborations across the full continuum of care, from hospital, to doctor's office, to the medical education classroom and into the community. Through these collaborations, the anthropologist learns about hospital culture through many different lenses and is, in turn, able to provide valuable insights into organizational culture and patient care from a variety of vantage points.

Patient Care Quality

In 1970, prior to present-day requirements for quality assurance programs, a project was undertaken to institute such a program voluntarily in ten hospitals. Five hospitals succeeded in fully implementing the program which was based on the "Bi-Cycle Process" and each documented improvements in desired patient care behaviors. Two hospitals partially implemented the process and demonstrated no significant changes in desired patient care behaviors. Two hospitals failed to provide the data upon which assessments could be made and one hospital never got beyond preliminary efforts at instituting the process. The project demonstrates that a voluntary quality assurance program is feasible and has important implications for PSROs and continuing medical education. It also provides evidence that attention to psychosocial factors is essential in the institutionalization of programs designed to produce desired changes in patient care behaviors.

The Impact

ABSTRACT Background: National examinations in Indonesia (UKMPPD) has been implemented since 2007 as a quality assurance method for medical graduates and medical schools. The impact of UKMPPD has been studied since then, where one of the consequences were related to how it affected medical education and curricula. This study explored the consequences of UKMPPD, focusing on how the students, teachers, and medical schools’ leaders relate the examination with patient care. This study aimed to explore the impact of UKMPPD on medical education, which focusing on the issue of patient safety. Methods: This study was part of a doctoral project, using a qualitative method with a modified grounded theory approach. The perspectives of multiple stakeholders on the impact of the UKMPPD were explored using interview and focus groups. Interviews were conducted with medical schools’ representatives (vice deans/ programme directors), while focus groups were conducted with teachers and students. A sampling framework was used by considering the characteristics of Indonesian medical schools based on region, accreditation status, and ownership (public/ private). Data was analysed using open coding and thematic framework as part of the iterative process. Results: The UKMPPD affected how the stakeholders viewed this high-stakes examination and the education delivered in their medical schools. One of the consequences revealed how stakeholders viewed the UKMPPD and its impact on patient care. Participants viewed the UKMPPD as a method of preparation for graduates’ real clinical practice. The lack of reference for patient safety as the impact of the UKMPPD in this study showed that there were missing links in how stakeholders perceived the examination as part of quality assurance in health care. Conclusion: The UKMPPD as a high-stakes examination has a powerful impact in changing educational policy and programmes in Indonesia. However, in Indonesia, the examination brought in the reflection on how the “patient” element was lacking from medical education. This research offers an insight on the concept of patient safety in Indonesia and how the stakeholders could approach the issue. Keywords: UKMPPD, national licensing examination, impact, competence, patient safety, curriculum

The U.S

In the age of COVID19, the ultimate question in healthcare became who was essential and who was not. Basically, who could be cut from the roster in patient care? Unfortunately, as medical students, many of us did not make that cut, and as rotations were continually evolving and changing, students from even the same institution had varying experiences. Third-year clerkships are defined by the direct patient care and hands-on learning students get, but in the age of COVID19, “hands-on learning” has been a bit hard to come by. Hence, COVID has caused many changes in the way medicine is being taught and practiced. This article will detail the experiences of two medical students from the same institution, working in different locations for their third-year clerkships. We contrast our rural and urban experiences as students in the time of COVID and display the varying experiences students are having during this time. We touch on the potential ramifications for these wide varieties of experiences from students across the U.S. and how this will affect sub-internships and residency applications.

Patient Narrative

Published narratives on doctor-as-patient experiences show that physicians become more empathetic once they have gone through the process of being a patient. In this article, in response to a published doctor-as-patient narrative, the author enquires into the possible reason for such empathy-in-hindsight. The objectified and structured medical education system which puts little emphasis on soft skills, a rapidly evolving technological-diagnostic revolution that is distancing the patient from the doctor and lacunae in development of communication skills in doctors come up as probable reasons for this. Narratives of physician-patients provide good learning points, especially with respect to the lacunae in the teaching of empathy, communication and humanities in medicine.
