  • These sessions are facilitated by the OHSU and VA Quality Improvement Chiefs and are an opportunity for you to practice running a code/RRT in a simulation environment. Specific wards teams are scheduled to attend, and any housestaff on ICU, consults, or electives are encouraged to join as their schedules permit. A lot can be learned by observing peers and giving and receiving feedback.

  • These 30-minute sessions are hosted by the VA Cardiology Echo Fellow on the call schedule. VA wards teams are expected to come prepared with EKGs from recent patients for review (via screen sharing), similar to Radiology Rounds. Bread & butter EKGs are welcome. A trainee reads the EKG and the fellow provides feedback and impromptu learning points relevant for internists.
