Appropriate calibration of clinical reasoning is critical to becoming a competent physician. Lack follow‐up after transitions care can present barrier calibration. This study aimed implement structured feedback about for residents performing overnight admissions, measure the frequency diagnostic changes, and determine how impacts learners' self‐efficacy. Trainees shared via form within their electronic health record's secure messaging system. Forms were analyzed changes. Surveys evaluated...

Introduction: United States healthcare costs are increasing at an unsustainable rate, with physicians contributing to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. ACGME requires residents incorporate considerations of cost-awareness in patient care. Yet, providing high-value care (HVC) can be challenging for complex training environments that include working on high acuity services, frequent use consultants, lack cost transparency. Methods: We designed a new HVC Academic Half Day (3.5 hour block...
