Representative Positive Comments by Trainees and Attendings*
| Trainees | Attendings |
|---|---|
| Atmosphere/personal | Atmosphere/personal |
| The atmosphere is more relaxed. | Great ability to stay in touch with trainees during this difficult time.⁎⁎ |
| I feel more comfortable throughout the day as I'm assigned to one attending. | |
| Autonomy/competency | Autonomy/competency |
| I have learned to become more definitive in my reporting and obtain more sense of independence. | This has encouraged residents to take more ownership of reports |
| More independence. Good transition to practice. | Can see fully formed (or unformed) thoughts of trainees; better assesses competency as they have to commit to an interpretation |
| Education/feedback | Education/feedback |
| Feedback focuses on missed incidentals and recommendations that would change management. | You interact with fewer trainees on a daily basis, so you get to know their work and skills better. |
| I'm still getting the benefit of reading cases actively and forming differentials. | Can easily have multiple trainees observe/participate in readouts. |
| Efficiency | Efficiency |
| Faster readouts and able to read more cases if volume allows. | More efficiency; fewer interruptions of trainees. |
| It's quicker when the attending just texts over Primordial if they agree or minor adjustments—prefer this for simpler cases. | Can review on own schedule. |
| Patient Care | Patient Care |
| There are two blind reads on each case. | Double, independent reads on each scan. |
| Social distancing | Social distancing |
| Keeps social distancing possible. | Hopefully, flattening the curve. |
| No risk of getting COVID from attending. | Confirms to social distancing guidelines in the era of COVID. |
| Technology | Technology |
| Primordial messenger, phone calls and in-house peer learning tool (6) are great tools used by different attendings. Comparison tool in PowerScribe 360 is handy to review changes made by attending in each report! | I like the ability to take control of the screen in both Zoom and Microsoft TeamsGreat ability to stay in touch with the trainees during this difficult time.⁎⁎ |
| Can share screens. Can request control. Can see each other's cursors. |
