Clinical Education Content (Season 1)

The following clinical domains are integrated into the seven-episode narrative arc, co-developed with clinical faculty consultation:

• Acute coronary syndromes: troponin interpretation, risk stratification, escalation criteria
• Volume overload and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: diuretic management, hemodynamic monitoring
• Gastrointestinal hemorrhage: upper vs. lower GI bleed workup, transfusion triggers, GI consultation criteria
• Decompensated cirrhosis: SBP evaluation, hepatorenal physiology, lactulose titration
• ICU escalation decision-making: recognizing hypotension requiring vasopressors, hypercarbia and hypoxia thresholds
• Cross-cover and triage prioritization: managing simultaneous competing clinical demands during overnight call
• Systems-based practice and ethical reasoning: resource allocation in small hospital settings

Sample Learning Objectives (Episode 1)

Upon completion of Episode 1 ("Cradle"), the learner should be able to:

• Identify the initial evaluation steps for a patient presenting with acute chest pain during an overnight shift
• Apply evidence-based triage principles to prioritize simultaneous clinical demands
• Recognize the clinical and psychosocial challenges unique to locum tenens practice
• Describe the appropriate escalation pathway for a hemodynamically unstable patient in a resource-limited setting
