Coinciding with HM's growth as a field, HM direct-care services (HM-DCS), or services in which a hospitalist is the sole primary provider, are increasingly utilized in medical education.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The clinical practice of HM, however, is demanding, and some may fear incorporating early learners on HM-DCS may cause greater provider stress, distracting multitasking, and lower productivity.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4-6&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than ever before, hospitalist educators must navigate tensions between clinical demands and the educational mission.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;7, 8&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; A key strategy offered by HM leaders is developing innovative educational opportunities beyond traditional teaching services.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; A well-designed shadowing program can meet this need, and hospitalist educators can excel in creating such programs with a thoughtful approach to design, implementation, and evaluation.

To meet this need, the Section of HM at UCM partnered with PSOM to create an HM-DCS shadowing intervention, or Hospital Medicine Shadowing Experience (HMSE), available to first- and second-year PSOM students and UCM hospitalists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;UCM, a tertiary academic medical center, has 13 general medicine and subspecialty HM-DCS comprising medically and psychosocially complex patients. HM-DCS cap at 11–14 patients and are staffed by approximately 70 hospitalists with varying teaching responsibility levels. Seven-day HM-DCS rotations begin Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday. PSOM, whose campus is adjacent to UCM, has roughly two preclerkship years followed by clinical rotations. Classes are approximately 88 students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We chose DCS for shadowing students because, unlike traditional teaching services with interns, residents, and other students, they enable a 1:1 apprentice-teacher model, which may allow a more direct interface with patient care and the health system and enhance physician role-modeling and mentorship while not overcrowding traditional teaching services with additional learners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;","PeriodicalId":15883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hospital medicine","volume":"20 3","pages":"295-307"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jhm.13460","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each manuscript receives rigorous evaluation by expert reviewers, who contribute insights on its novelty, originality, scientific validity, and potential impact. These reviewers also offer valuable suggestions for manuscript improvement. This structured review process provides authors with constructive feedback, fosters a sense of community, and facilitates the publication of advancements in research and patient care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To augment our in-depth editorial assessment, we aim to have at least two independent peer reviews for each manuscript being considered for publication. However, over the past 3 years, we have had increasing difficulty securing reviewers. The average number of invitations we send to receive two quality reviews has increased from four in 2021 to eight this past year. As clinicians and researchers who regularly perform peer reviews for other journals, we understand the challenge of balancing this service with other obligations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On behalf of the entire journal editorial leadership team, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our peer reviewers. Your reviews significantly enhance our authors' work and we deeply appreciate the time and effort you dedicate to the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Hospital Medicine&lt;/i&gt; community.

We encourage recipients to list this honor on their curriculum vitae and share the recognition with their program, division, and department leadership. These contributions should also be highlighted in promotion letters as important service to the field and national acknowledgment of expertise. We also offer continuing medical education credit for peer review, underscoring its value in professional development.
