Suggested reading/pocket contents |
I read absolutely nothing during this rotation. Many people shy away from this rotation because it sounds demanding. It is not. I had fun, and the attendings were great. |
|
Structure of rotation |
Team-based |
|
Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
Team consists of 1 fellow, two to four residents, and the attending. It's a consult service, so you roll in anywhere between 8:00 am to 11:00 am, depending on how fast you pre-round, write your notes, and then round with the attending in the afternoon. When I started, the fellow was great. Very good teacher, knew her stuff, didn't coddle us. The fellow that took her place, not so good. Constantly confused, couldn't do anything without us by her side. Other than that, great month. |

Useful for other specialties |
This is a good one to take. I wanted to know how to evaluate a pt c/o chest pain. I'm not going into internal medicine, but I'm pretty sure there's a possibility the material was relevant. |
