We learned that successful attending rounds required a multidimensional skill set comprised of 5 distinct domains: learning atmosphere, clinical teaching, teaching style, communicating expectations, and team management. As Wachter and Verghese explained, current work hour restrictions and hospital expectations create a demand for team management skills, one of our domains. This domain includes timeliness, efficiency, and accommodating absences required for administrative demands.
