This blog is a new venture, designed to augment the learning that goes on in the Internal Medicine Scenario Rounds at Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto.
The purpose of these rounds is twofold:
- to help postgraduate trainees learn about less common diseases and presentations, and
- to teach trainees the skills they need when presenting their approach to understanding and managing a medical problem as it evolves.
At Mount Sinai, these rounds are held every 2 weeks on Fridays at noon. We ask that a senior resident "volunteer" to have a case presented to them, and to explain their thinking as the case unfolds. Each scenario presentation lasts between 10-20 minutes. Other trainees act as a supportive audience, and give helpful feedback at the end of the scenario. The scenario ends with a teaching "capsule" about the topic under discussion. The session is meant to be educational, friendly, supportive and fun. (BIG HUG!)
This blog is intended to help anyone interested in these sessions to continue to learn from them, through group discussions and postings of resources. Some ground rules for commenting and posting will be posted shortly. The overall theme: This is meant to help anyone interested in learning Internal Medicine, especially in a Canadian training context, and the more that participate, the more valuable it will be.
Enjoy, and let me know how it goes!
