Highlights
Observation medicine is an extension of emergency medicine and is increasingly playing a role in the delivery of acute healthcare, with over half of all observation units (OUs) in the nation being led by emergency medicine.[1]
Educational Methods: The educational strategies used in this curriculum include experiential learning through supervised direct patient care, independent learning based on prescribed literature, and didactic teaching
Considering the wide breadth of clinical conditions managed in OUs and the variability of OU management at various learning sites, the curriculum must be tailored to the specific unit to maximize effectiveness of the learning experience
Summary
Observation medicine is an extension of emergency medicine and is increasingly playing a role in the delivery of acute healthcare, with over half of all observation units (OUs) in the nation being led by emergency medicine.[1] Despite this, many emergency medicine residencies have yet to establish a formal observation medicine curriculum. Educational Goals: The primary goal of this observation medicine curriculum is to train current EM residents in short-term acute care beyond the initial ED visit. This entails caring for patients from the time of their. A lack of observation medicine training represents a missed opportunity for each trainee to gain a robust understanding of the interface between inpatient and outpatient care, and how to arrive at the most appropriate disposition for ED patients.
