Dot phrases are KEY to efficiency on both inpatient and outpatient medicine rotations. Efficiency means getting your work done quickly (but still accurately) so you can achieve a good work-life balance. Electronic medical records (EMRs) have features that allow you to insert a large amount of templated text quickly. This saves seconds, which add up to minutes, which eventually add up to hours! Take it from someone who used to be slow and stayed at work late on a daily basis. But I've since learned my lesson! In this video, I provide tips on what types of dot phrases would be useful to most medical students and physicians.
