Ep. 33: What is Sign-Out?

This week's episode of Aspire Premed provides another glimpse into the future! Effective communication is critical in medicine. Dr. V reviews a practice that is used by med students, residents, and attendings: sign-out. Sign-out is an important part of patient care, and involves the transfer of information from one team to the next. In this episode, Dr. V provides one example of how sign-out is performed; it's never too early to gain exposure to this skill, and practicing it in your mind can even help you get more out of your shadowing experiences. Tune in to today's episode to learn more!
