Observed Dr. Newcome perform a skin biopsy today. He came well prepared having pre-read on the patient, obtained consent independently, and the patient seemed very clear about risks and benefits by the time I arrived to supervise the procedure. He had everything set up and needed little direction from me to perform the punch biopsy. Was aware of the patient’s comfort level and did an excellent job counseling the patient regarding post-procedure care.

Dr. Safely is very engaged with his team QI project on improving HPV vaccine rates! He arrives to meetings, has already done his chart reviews. Last week, I noticed he huddled with his MA and notified her of his pediatric patients that are due for the vaccines!

Dr. Safely is very engaged with his team QI project on improving HPV vaccine rates! She arrives to meetings and has already done her chart reviews. Last week, I noticed she huddled with her MA and notified her of her pediatric patients that are due for the vaccines!

When I worked with her on inpatient last month, I noticed that she did a detailed review of patient’s medications and looked for potential drug-drug interactions for everyone she admitted!

Dr. Docmastery has been including reference articles in her clinic and result notes to demonstrate evidence base which supports her clinical decision making.

Dr. Anecdante rarely looks up clinical questions. One suggestion would be to download apps that can be used to quickly look up answers to commonly encountered questions such as shots, AHRQ, ASCCP pap guidelines, and medscape.
