Residents report to the inpatient unit where they receive informal
sign out from the night shift team, review patient flow sheets
and examine problem patients.
First year residents present recently admitted patients. Histories,
physical exams, assessments, differential diagnoses and management
are discussed with a variety of general and subspecialty attendings.
Bedside work rounds are conducted on the inpatient units. Medical
students and first year residents are supervised by a senior
resident team leader. The "service" attending may join these
rounds or conduct a more formal "attending rounds."
Faculty members from general and subspecialties present the "core
lecture" series.
Residents provide ongoing patient care during this time, write
progress notes, perform procedures and admit patients.
The on-call team reports and patients are endorsed by the first
year resident. Afterward, residents may leave if no work is pending.
