Summary
Internal medicine residents desire educational morning reports with generalist faculty and case-based discussions. They prefer a stepwise presentation of challenging cases over daily patient reviews.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Internal Medicine Training
Background:
- Morning report is a long-standing educational conference in internal medicine residency.
- It involves diverse faculty and residents with varied learning objectives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To clarify resident learning objectives for morning report.
- To understand resident preferences for morning report format and content.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional survey distributed to internal medicine residents.
- Convenience sample from community and university-based programs.
- Likert scale and multiple-choice question formats used.
Main Results:
- 356 surveys returned (63% response rate) from 13 programs.
- Residents prefer 50% generalist faculty and educational focus.
- Preferred discussing interesting cases stepwise, prioritizing disease process and diagnostics.
Conclusions:
- Resident opinions on morning report were consistent across diverse programs.
- Desire for generalist faculty aligns with emphasis on ambulatory and general internal medicine.
- Preferred stepwise case presentations for challenging cases.

02:30Naturalistic Observations
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
02:16Surveys
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
01:52Regression Toward the Mean
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when researchers try to extrapolate results...
