Abstract

To increase faculty time at the bedside during learning rounds at the internal medicine residency of Jefferson Medical College, the authors initiated a program that included giving feedback to faculty about their bedside teaching, presenting relevant literature, and communicating to housestaff the need to prepare patients for visits. The program led to a dramatic increase in the number of bedside visits by faculty.
