Drs. Danielle O’Toole and Meredith Vanstone of McMaster University join us this week to talk about their recent publication Optimizing the Educational Value of Indirect Patient Care.  Indirect patient care activities (IPCAs) have been highlighted as a component of the hidden curriculum in medical education as well as a significant source of physician burnout. We discuss the importance of exposing trainees to the realities of IPCAs, reframing IPCAs as educational opportunities, and incorporating IPCAs into curriculum via Dr. O’Toole’s Five E’s.
