Rate My Professor Amiran Baduashvili

Amiran Baduashvili, MD, serves as Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. He is the Director of the Advanced Hospital Medicine Clinical Scholars Program and Associate Vice Chair of Education in the Department of Medicine. Board certified in Hospital Medicine and a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, Dr. Baduashvili completed his undergraduate studies with a BS from Stony Brook University in 2007, earned his MD from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University in 2011, and finished his Internal Medicine residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in 2014. Fluent in English and Georgian, he practices as a hospitalist while advancing medical education and research.

Dr. Baduashvili's academic interests focus on clinical reasoning, diagnostic reasoning, critical appraisal of medical literature, bedside diagnostic use of point-of-care ultrasonography, and online educational course development. He developed the online course 'Bayes at Bedside' to teach Bayesian reasoning for improved clinical decision-making. His research contributions include leading studies on engineering infection controls for respiratory transmission, point-of-care ultrasound curricula for residency programs, real-world procalcitonin use in antibiotic stewardship, resident burnout impacts from training schedules, AI variability in medical prompts, and diagnostic accuracy of oligoclonal bands in CNS disorders. Key publications are 'Engineering Infection Controls to Reduce Indoor Transmission of Respiratory Infections: A Scoping Review' (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2025), 'Developing Point-of-Care Ultrasound Curricula for Internal Medicine Residency Programs: Consensus-Based Recommendations' (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2025), 'Real-world interpretation of procalcitonin to guide antibiotic prescribing: a retrospective cohort study' (Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2025), 'Same Prompt, Different Answer: Why AI Disagrees with Itself' (Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2025), 'Resident Burnout, Wellness, Professional Development, and Engagement Before and After New Training Schedule Implementation' (JAMA Network Open, 2024), and 'Diagnostic Accuracy of Oligoclonal Bands for CNS Autoimmune Disorders in Acutely Ill Adults' (Neurology: Clinical Practice, 2025). Through these efforts and leadership roles, Dr. Baduashvili influences hospital medicine training and evidence-based practice.
