Understanding the relationship between clinical duty hours and exam performance can help inform how we structure medical student education.

The ACGME now requires #POCUS training in family medicine residencies; however, the ability to build curricula and integrate POCUS into patient care is challenging. This study highlights the successful strategies of four residency POCUS curricula: journals.stfm.org/familymedi…
QI is more than a residency requirement. By fostering resident engagement and ownership alongside faculty coaching, QI curricula prepare future physician leaders to drive change in health systems.

"In this issue, you have the opportunity to learn from their pioneer work in designing and implementing POCUS curriculum and gain a satellite view of what strategies may work as well as considerations as you develop your program."

Strong editorial. From the device side, family-medicine POCUS lives or dies on fitting a short visit: fast boot, exam-specific presets, and depth, focus, and gain defaults that hold up across body habitus, so the minutes go to the clinical question, not the knobs.
Although POCUS training is now required in family medicine residencies, there remains a lack of standardized, replicable strategies for implementation. The inpatient service offers excellent opportunities for POCUS training.
"Ultimately, the challenge for our specialty is the evolution of clinical family medicine: where do we want our specialty to go?"

"If you wanted the latest news about my family, you would likely find it around the dinner table. ... STFM and the 'family of family medicine' organizations operate much the same way."

Optimizing POCUS billing in outpatient residency is paramount for financial sustainability, regulatory compliance, & effective education. Teaching residents this complex aspect ensures understanding of specific CPT codes, appropriate modifiers, & documentation requirements.

"Stories arrive before the body speaks.
The same faces return, yet never the same story.
I pause,
I listen,
I consider.
Names gather weight over time.
Not strangers,
but lives unfolding in chapters
I’ve been privileged to witness."

Nearby, I see a young man doing the job he has been assigned. “This is a park. They have shelters where they can go.”
“And what does that tell you about why someone might choose this?”

"At the end of a 1st-year medical student session on motivational interviewing, I asked students for one word that described what their patients most need from them. 'Trust,' 'clarity,' 'support.'
Then, a student who had not spoken all class: 'Grace.'"

“¿Tiene prisa?” [Are you in a hurry?] he asked.
In that moment, the illusion of efficiency cracked. Frankie hadn’t truly conversed with a physician in 10 months. What I had interpreted as a simple visit (“a few questions”) was, for him, a rare opening: journals.stfm.org/familymedi…
