Enhancing professional development and promoting collaboration in hospital medicine through the visiting professor exchange program.
The Visiting Professor in Hospital Medicine (ViP) Exchange Program, a pilot initiative across 11 diverse academic institutions, aimed to address the challenges faced by academic hospitalists in career advancement and research collaboration. The program facilitated national speaking engagements, mentorship opportunities, and exposure to innovative programs at host institutions. A survey of participating hospitalists revealed overwhelmingly positive feedback, with most reporting significant career development benefits, increased national recognition, and enhanced networking opportunities. The ViP program not only fosters individual growth but also contributes to the broader pipeline of academic hospitalist advancement. Key considerations for institutions implementing similar programs include careful cohort selection, logistical planning, securing funding, and ongoing evaluation. The expansion of such programs, potentially through virtual platforms, can significantly contribute to the growth and development of the field of hospital medicine.

Stress from uncertainty and resilience among depressed and burned out residents: a cross-sectional study.
This study examined how stress from uncertainty is related to resilience among medical residents and whether those attributes are related to depression and burnout. The investigators surveyed 86 residents in pediatric residency programs from 4 urban freestanding children’s hospitals in North America in 2015. They used the Physicians’ Reaction to Uncertainty Scale to measure stress from uncertainty, the 14-item Resilience Scale to measure uncertainty, the Harvard National Depression Scale for depression, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory for burnout. There was a response rate of 58.1%. Five residents met depression criteria, and 15 residents met the burnout criteria. Depressed and burned out residents both had higher mean levels of stress compared to residents who neither depressed nor burned out.

Opportunities to improve informed consent with ´óÏóÊÓƵtraining modules.
Patients often do not understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives of undergoing specific interventions, even after signing a consent form. This paper describes a mixed-methods pilot test of two ´óÏóÊÓƵ (AHRQ) informed consent training modules that was implemented in four hospitals. The study concluded that many opportunities exist for hospitals to improve their informed consent practices.

The unwritten rules of mentorship: facilitators of and barriers to effective mentorship in pediatric hospital medicine.
This study aimed to characterize successful pediatric hospitalists' past and current mentorship experiences and identify facilitators of and barriers to effective mentorship in pediatric hospital medicine (PHM). They found that several themes emerged regarding facilitators of and barriers to effective mentorship in PHM. These "unwritten rules of mentorship" may serve as a guide to establish and maintain beneficial mentorship relationships and overcome challenges.

Hospital credentialing and privileging of surgeons: a potential safety blind spot.
Taylor v Intuitive, the first of at least 26 lawsuits against Intuitive, went to trial alleging injuries or death tied to the da Vinci Surgical System, a new robotic surgical system. This discussion of the events surrounding the case of Taylor v Intuitive highlights the importance of hospitals’ credentialing and privileging mechanisms for maintaining the quality and safety of surgical care, especially regarding new technologies for which practicing surgeons may not have formal training.
