 Lisa Hayes, MD
Administrative Chief Resident
Welcome to Saint Barnabas Medical Center resident life. As a chief resident at Saint Barnabas, it has been an honor and a privilege to work amongst some of the finest attendings, nurses and residents in our field. Resident life is challenging, both professionally and personally.
When choosing a residency, it is important to find a place where you can learn the very most as well as develop into the finest physician possible. At Saint Barnabas, you are given constant guidance and supervision; however, you are also allowed the autonomy to develop your own skills as a physician.
The residents not only work together to achieve a common goal, but we support, teach and drive each other to become the finest Ob/GYNs and/or sub-specialist in practice. We are colleagues and we are friends.
The diversity of this incredible group of people is what makes this residency the excellent, dynamic program for which Saint Barnabas is recognized.
What is the call schedule? The interns have a dayfloat system the first six months and are on call every 3-4 night. The last six months they are on nightfloat.
What is the patient population? The majority
of the patients at Saint Barnabas are private. Despite having
private attendings, the residents are involved in all aspects
of patient care while they are in-house.
How do the residents interact with the attendings? Residents
receive one-on-one teaching from the attendings. As the residents
are involved with all in-house patients, they speak and work
directly with all the attendings.
What is the clinic schedule and where is it located? The Ob/Gyn clinic is located in the East Wing at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Residents go to clinic for a half a day each week.
Where do most residents live? Most residents
live within 2 to 10 miles of the hospital.
When do you start to operate? As an intern,
basic cases such as D&Cs in the main OR, as well as LTL
and diagnostic laparoscopies in the outpatient Women's Center.
As a second year, primary C/S are done along with more complicated
OR cases in the main OR. As a third year, hysterectomies
and repeat C/S are the basic cases. As a chief, you are primary
on the Gyn-Onc cases, all vaginal hysterctomies and other
more complicated cases.
