📞 Teaching the Consult Call: Enhancing Bi-Directional Communication

In the latest article, Shreya Narayanan, MD, and Christopher D. Jackson, MD, present a fellow-led workshop designed to improve resident communication with consultants.

Using the CONSULT card framework, trainees learn to deliver concise, structured, and relevant information while anticipating consultant questions. The workshop emphasizes bi-directional communication, includes interactive role-play, and leverages near-peer teaching by subspecialty fellows to provide real-world, actionable feedback.

This innovative approach strengthens collaboration, enhances confidence, and equips residents with essential skills for effective interdisciplinary patient care.

🩺 General Internists: Key to Ending the HIV Epidemic

In the latest article, Jeremy W. Snyder, MD, along with Rebecca Glassman, MD, Louise King, MD, Chris Terndrup, MD, and De-Vaughn Williams, MD, highlight the importance of general internists in HIV care.

With advances like simplified ART regimens, long-acting injectables, and the U=U message, internists can provide comprehensive, “status-neutral” care—screening, prevention (PrEP), and treatment—while managing chronic conditions in people with HIV.

The authors emphasize the importance of education, accessible resources, and advocacy to empower internists to provide high-quality, patient-centered HIV care and reduce new infections.

🎓 A Reflective Framework for Trainees Considering Dual Degrees

In the latest article, Ruth Bishop, MD, provides a structured framework for medical trainees exploring dual degrees, such as MPH, MBA, MPP, or JD.

She emphasizes three guiding questions:
1️⃣ Does this degree align with my mission and long-term goals?
2️⃣ Is this the right time and place in my training?
3️⃣ Do I have the right mentors to guide me?

Dr. Bishop highlights how intentional, mission-driven decisions—rather than prestige or FOMO—can help trainees maximize the value of additional degrees and navigate their careers with purpose.
