Systems-Based Practice

(This competency is weighted ~10% of your overall clerkship evaluation.)

This competency can be easy to overlook as a medical student as it focuses on aspects of the team approach to patient care to which you may have little exposure. Furthermore, it addresses system barriers (and solutions) to patient care (e.g. type of medical coverage, health care resources, home resources, and cultural needs) that can seem peripheral on a busy inpatient service with extremely sick patients. But they are ultimately critical to patient safety and high quality care. Sample Post-Discharge Phone Call Documentation
