| Popis: | Background: Safe patient care includes effective communication. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education common program requirements include core requirements for trainees to act in a consultative manner and communicate effectively. However, trainees do not commonly receive formal education on this topic. Objective: We created a 1-hour workshop to teach residents and fellows how to effectively call consults, including how to formulate a cogent and comprehensive consult question. Methods: The workshop, delivered over a 1-hour noon conference, included a didactic portion and interactive small-group case-based learning. We used pre- and postworkshop surveys to assess learners’ prior training, knowledge, and comfort levels in calling consults. Subspecialists answered a separate survey about the quality of consults received from trainees before and 30 days after the workshop. Results: Seventy-three trainees attended the workshop (41.2% of total trainees invited). After the workshop, the percentage of learners who identified as very or somewhat comfortable with calling consults increased from 82% to 91%. Before the workshop, 87% of trainees could identify key elements in a consult, which increased to 100% after the workshop. There was not a statistically significant improvement in subspecialists’ ratings of the overall quality of consults they received 30 days after the workshop. Conclusion: Training learners on the key components and etiquette of calling consults is crucial for the development of effective communication among providers. This training is generally lacking from undergraduate medical education; thus, it is important to provide education in calling consults during residency and fellowship. |
