Professional Activities
CLINICAL

Attending, Mt Zion Hospitalist Medicine Service, UCSF: Nine months each year, six
months thus far, on the non-housestaff Hospitalist Medicine Service at Mt Zion. Activities include the care of medical patients, medical consults for the rest of the
hospital, and being a member of the code and rapid response teams.

Attending, Medical Service, UCSF: I attend three months each year on the medicine
wards at Parnassus, where I supervise 20 residents and medical students.

Medicine Resident, University of Michigan: I was a member of inpatient medicine teams, served on specialty consult services, and attended ambulatory specialty clinics at both the University of Michigan Hospital and the Ann Arbor VA Hospital. In addition, I saw patients in my own continuity clinics, one at the Ann Arbor VA, and one at an outpatient University of Michigan General Medicine clinic.

SUMMARY OF CLINICAL ACTIVITIES

Since beginning here at UCSF, I have had the pleasure to attend on the wards at Moffit Long, where I supervise residents and medical students in the care of often quite complex and challenging patients. As such, there are endless opportunities to teach—to teach medicine, teamwork and organization. As a Hospitalist at Mt Zion, I am the primary inpatient physician for my patients, and have had the opportunity to strengthen my clinical skills and medical knowledge. At Zion, our care of patients is uniquely interdisciplinary which allows us to meet their medical and social needs in a
comprehensive way. I have learned a great deal from this team approach. Zion also
provides a unique place, given the absence of residents, for medical students to work with attending mentors in the inpatient setting. I have tried to maximize this opportunity and have mentored several different medical students at Zion.

Teaching Narrative
I have had the opportunity to prepare and give daily teaching sessions to the medical students and residents at Parnassus during my three ward months there. The daily rounding and patient care activities are also filled with teaching opportunities. I have been able to develop my skills, particularly in the areas of setting clear expectations, leading a team, and providing useful feedback.

The medical student precepting, which has taken place mostly at Zion, has been a unique opportunity to longitudinally work one-on-one with medical students in the busy inpatient setting.
