Typical day |
You see your patients (usually 2-3), drop a note in the chart, and attend "rounds" with Dr. Bagri for one hour per day. Residents do not also see your patients- you share them only with Dr. Bagri. If one of my patients were undergoing ECT, meet at 7AM in PACU with Dr. Bagri for ECT for about 1:30 hours. Then see patients, meet with team at 9AM. At 10AM, rounds with Dr. Bagri for 2 days a week, otherwise additional time to see patients and write daily progress notes. On Thursday, R1 lectures go from 8-12:30. On Friday, Goldberg Rounds go from 8-10:30. We see patients afterward. Typical day goes until 3-4PM. Occasionally, work lasts until 5-6 PM. |

Other comments |
Experience overall is good, but our role as M4 is poorly defined. We act as R1-equivalents, except we are limited in our ability to make decisions for our patients. More guidance and contact with the senior resident would have been helpful |
