Noon Report

Mon/Fri, 12:00 - 13:00

Residents on OHSU and VA wards, consults, and electives; presenters’ linked PD, attendings

OHSU Noon Report: Traditional Case (55 min) - This is a case-based presentation by a resident with facilitation by the Chief Resident. There are typically 2-3 learning points such as diagnostic frameworks, clinical management, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in medicine. Detailed instructions are below.

1. Pick a Case

  • We have compiled a list of high-yield topics from MKSAP-19 ( MKSAP objectives.xlsx

  • Please select a topic from this list and add your name next to your chosen topic. We will refresh the list every six months to ensure a variety of cases are presented each week. If the topic you'd like to present is not included in the list, that's totally fine! Please let us know at medchiefs@ohsu.edu. Remember, these cases don't have to be zebras; there's great learning potential with common, bread-and-butter cases.

2. Identify and Invite a Faculty Member

  • Please invite a faculty member who can attend the noon report and contribute to the discussion. This can be your APD, the attending you worked with, or a subspecialist with expertise in the topic. If you need help identifying someone, please reach out to medchiefs@ohsu.edu.

3. Develop Specific Teaching Points

  • Plan to come up with 2-3 specific teaching points based on the case. Each teaching point should be covered in no more than 1-2 slides, with supporting evidence if applicable. Examples include:

    • Comparing the timeline of different immune-related adverse events from PD-1 inhibitors.

    • Examining the evidence supporting catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation.

  • Chiefs can help you develop these teaching points! See the link below for some general guidance.

VA Wards, ICU, Consults, Electives

These sessions are facilitated by the OHSU and VA Quality Improvement Chiefs and are an opportunity for you to practice running a code 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. Most simulated cases are complete in 10 minutes and a lot can be learned by observing peers and giving and receiving feedback.


EKG Rounds

Wed, 14:30

VA Wards, Consults, Electives

These virtual sessions are hosted by the current echo cardiology 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.


Rads Rounds

Mon 9:00 - 9:30

OHSU Wards

These sessions are hosted by an OHSU Radiology attending. Wards teams submit cases in advance with an emphasis on chest radiology. The intern or resident caring for the patient delivers a 1-liner and gives their read of the image, and the attending provides feedback and learning points relevant for internists.
