Clinic Corner: DOC Clinic

Contributed by Daniella Zipkin, MD

 

Ambulatory Town Hall, Coming up

Please join us for noon conference February 2, where you will join folks from your clinic to hear about updates and hear responses to the feedback you have given on the most recent Continuity Clinic Survey!

 

To PEAC or not to PEAC?

PEAC modules are high quality ambulatory teaching modules created at Hopkins. JARs and SARs will remember these from last year when we used them. We are thinking of bringing them back. Please email Dani and Aparna with any suggestions for how they could support your learning and how we can best utilize them as a group!

 

Scheduling News

Jen and Lynsey and Emily have big plans for ambulatory in the next academic year! The 4+2 schedule will allow us to provide much more consistency to your continuity clinic half days and we plan to put together schedules for the entire year! This will make it easier to keep continuity with your own panel of patients, even with longer term follow-up!

 

Announcing next year’s ACLT group!

We are very excited to welcome a new crew into the ACLT next year! Rising ACLT JARs (in alphabetical order) will be:

• Ryan Anderson
• Johnny Komisar
• Joe Plaksin
• Ben Ranard
• Colin Smith
• Jasmine Washington

The ACLT has been hitting its stride with curricula in teaching and health policy. We have also expanded template options during the clinical portion of ambulatory blocks, including integrative medicine, pain medicine, women’s health, and more! Anyone in the residency can choose these options during ambulatory, they are not just for the ACLT. Thanks go to Aparna for all her hard work behind the scenes!

Watch for ACLT updates on the next GIM journal club in March/April as well as their advocacy plan for Raleigh, NC, in May of this year! Also in May, the ACLT graduating SARs will take over teaching of Academic Half Day!

Thanks everyone.
