Morning roundsFour patients, forty minutes. Prioritize by trajectory, then answer each patient's one real question of the day.

On callPager scenarios: hypotension, desaturation, low urine output. What do you ask for before you arrive, and what do you do at the bedside?

HandoverTen candidate lines, five that matter. Build the sign-out that keeps the night safe, then compare against a model.

DocumentationSOAP structure, the problem-ordered assessment and plan, and the four note types with their distinct jobs.

DischargeThe safe-discharge checklist: reconciliation, follow-up with a purpose, owned pending results, and honest function questions. Adult and pediatric versions side by side.

Cross-coverFour pages arrive at once: a new fever, a low blood pressure, a pain request, a new oxygen requirement. Who do you see first, and what do you say on the phone?

Consult skillsWhy were you called, what is the question, and the note that answers it. Build the six sections, compare against the consultant's, then present to the senior.
