Training Fourth-Year Medical Students How to Write Admission Orders: A Pilot Project to Match Geriatrics and Hospital Medicine Competencies and Decision-Making with Milestones and Entrusted Professional Activities

Abstract

Training medical students how to write inpatient admission orders provides a promising way to bridge competencies and decision-making with milestones and entrustable professional activities. Educators can implement such learning activities during clerkships and even pre-clerkship education, against the complex context of geriatric cases to foster critical thinking and clinical reasoning.
