Ambulatory Threads 2021-2022

Welcome interns and welcome to the next year of training for the whole team! The program is continuing to offer the Ambulatory Threads scheduling platform for interns and JARs this year. What this means is, each six months you have a template with combined sub-specialties plus continuity clinic, and in the sub-specialties you will also return to the same faculty clinic across the +2 blocks, to have some continuity there as well. There are four threads total, so that by the end of the program you will have experienced EVERY subspecialty in a continuity way in the ambulatory setting. As you may imagine, it’s a lot of moving parts. Your faculty are notified ahead of time that you are coming and many plan their schedule around you! If you’re scheduled for a clinic, we expect you to be there – notify a chief any time you run into issues and can’t get there.

Morning Report

The morning report series is continuing this year as the primary space for general internal medicine teaching. There are faculty from all over the health system coming to give case-based talks on their specialty areas. The curriculum is designed as a 12-month cohesive approach to primary care topics based on ABIM boards expectations. It takes place Tu/W/Th at 7:15 and will remain on Zoom – it’s the only curriculum staying virtual, as many scatter to different ambulatory locations after the session.

You are a primary care doctor!

From day one, you all have an assigned clinic site and a panel of patients who know your name, rolled over from the graduated senior. We will review these guidelines during orientation and during the year, but we want you to know we’ve created a system for managing messages that off-loads your clinic work when you’re on busy inpatient rotations and opens you up to more messages on ambulatory. We call this system “Red-Yellow-Green”. This looks different for the different clinics because of the computer systems and different needs. Here are the guidelines for what to expect on each rotation, by clinic:
