"Held by Feinberg's Center for Bedside Medicine in association with the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Society of Bedside Medicine, the conference brought together physicians, educators and trainees from across the country and abroad. The program offered hands-on workshops in physical examination featuring real patients, point-of-care ultrasound and the latest technology to aid in bedside encounters. Attendees also participated in sessions on trauma-informed care and teaching techniques for medical trainees."
""It's estimated that almost half of diagnostic errors are related to a mistake in the physical exam," said Brian Garibaldi, MD, MEHP, the Charles Horace Mayo Professor of Medicine and the inaugural director of the Center for Bedside Medicine. "The most common mistake is simply that the exam is never performed. One of the reasons for that is our over-reliance on technology." Throughout the day, workshops and sessions underscored a growing movement in medical education to balance technological advances with human connection."
A two-day Conference in Bedside Medicine convened physicians, educators, and trainees to revive and celebrate bedside care. Hands-on workshops provided physical examination practice with real patients, point-of-care ultrasound, and technology to aid bedside encounters. Sessions addressed trauma-informed care and teaching techniques for medical trainees. Almost half of diagnostic errors are linked to mistakes in the physical exam, with the most common error being that the exam is never performed due to over-reliance on technology. Clinical observation and tacit knowledge—wisdom, experience, and insight—were highlighted as vital complements to technological advances in patient care.
