There has been some recent confusion about documentation and policies regarding medical students. You can view the UH policies here, refer to the email about this, or find the policies in the "Inpatient Resource"->"General Inpatient Logistics". Reminder, it is your responsibility to ensure you are following these policies! If you have any questions please email Danielle Weber, weber2de@ucmail.uc.edu

Please remember to mark the "Follow Up" tasks as complete in Epic. This process is essential and long-call and overnight to ensure (and document) that important items are being done

The QI group for IM Research has an exciting endeavor that will soon be rolling out:
Once a month during NR, we will have a lecture series to go over some of the basics of getting your research process moving forward. The topics will include:

  • Finding a mentor
  • Hypothesis generation
  • How to write an IRB
  • How to go about transmitting results via abstracts, manuscripts, and meetings ​

They will also be distributing:

  • A list of mentors sorted by specialty for residents to reference
  • Updated Conference List for national specialty meetings
  • Research curriculum from November to February
