The overall objective of this book is to provide standards for the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes expected of all hospitalists and
to provide a framework for ongoing professional and curriculum
development for learners at all levels. The framework is intended
for use by hospital medicine program directors, directors of
medical student clerkships, residency programs, fellowships, and
continuing medical education, as well as other educators involved
in curriculum development. The competencies do not focus on
specific content, but rather general learning objectives within the
skills, knowledge, and attitudes related to each topic. Attaining
competency in the areas defined in these chapters is expected to
require post-residency training. This training is most likely to be
obtained through a combination of work experience, local
mentorship, and engagement in specific educational programs or
fellowship. Hospitalists, directors, and educators can create
specific instructional activities and methods chosen to reflect the
characteristics of the intended learners and context of the
practice environment.
Within each section, individual chapters on focused topics
provide competencies in three domains of educational outcomes: the
Cognitive Domain (Knowledge), the Psychomotor Domain (Skills), and
the Affective Domain (Attitudes). To reflect the emphasis of
hospital medicine practice on improving healthcare systems, a
fourth section entitled Systems Organization and Improvement is
also included. An attempt has been made to make the objectives
timeless, allowing for creation of curriculum that can be nimble
and reactive to new discoveries.
Although the entire document can be a resource for comprehensive
program development, each chapter is intended to stand-alone and
thus support curriculum development specific to the needs of
individual programs.
