You manage a lot more over the phone Patients are often more complicated On the bright side, there is a nurse at the
other end of the phone.
Two fellows per scenario:◦ One is the fellow◦ One is the nurse calling, this person will also be
the family member if applicable We will watch and offer constructive
suggestions and make comments Relax! This is just practice!
The “nurse” fellow will be given a sheet with additional information the physician fellow should elicit with questions
Nurses: Do not volunteer information. Let the “fellow” elicit the information from you.
“Fellow”: If you are stumped, you can ask your colleagues here to help you! Just say, “I want to call my attending and call you back.”
