    Internal medicine consultation services expose residents to diverse medical cases, enhancing their knowledge beyond general ward duties. However, many programs prioritize service over education, limiting resident benefit.

    Area of Science:

    • Internal Medicine
    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Internal medicine consultation services manage medical requests not assigned to specific subspecialties.
    • The educational value and scope of these services compared to general medicine wards are not well-defined.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the spectrum of medical problems encountered by internal medicine consulting residents versus those on general medicine wards.
    • To assess the nature and educational impact of internal medicine consultation programs across university medical centers.

    Main Methods:

    • An audit of a nine-month experience on a general internal medicine consultation service was conducted.
    • A survey of chief medical residents at 36 university medical centers investigated their institutions' consultation programs.

    Main Results:

    • Consulting residents encountered a quantitatively and qualitatively different range of medical problems compared to ward services.
    • Interdisciplinary aspects of consultations enriched the consulting internist's knowledge base.
    • Half of the surveyed consultation programs were found to be service-oriented rather than educational.
    • These service-oriented programs were perceived as not beneficial to medicine residents.

    Conclusions:

    • Internal medicine consultation services offer a unique and valuable learning experience, distinct from general ward rotations.
    • The interdisciplinary nature of consultations enhances medical knowledge and complements other specialty exposures.
    • A significant portion of internal medicine consultation programs may require restructuring to prioritize educational objectives for resident development.
