|
Structure of rotation |
Team-based. Service is a senior resident, and you. (And attendings during rounds, of course.) |
|
Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
The way it is structured you spend 95% of your resident time with a single resident (the 3rd year on antepartum) which allows you to really get into a rhythm with that resident. You spend the large majority of your day working with that resident. 2 days a week the resident has clinic and you can tag along. Also, Thursdays the third year is in charge of L&D, and you get to help run the board, while also pretty much covering antepartum yourself. Attending time: Every day you spend about 1-2 hours on rounds, rounding with 2 different attendings (one for non-high risk patients, one for high risk patients). Every day is different attendings as they rotate coverage. Also, 2-3 days a week you meet with a different attending for lecture. These can sometimes get blown off if things are too busy, but Dr. Pombar's Friday lecture is usually very consistent, and he has you do a short weekly presentation on an assigned subject, and will then ask you questions. |

Typical day |
Come in around 5:45-6:00am, gather vitals and pre-round. Go over info with resident. Add any new patients and their data to the list. Go to board rounds at 7:30-8:30. Round with attendings (usually finishes up by 11:00). Take care of any floor responsibilities and/or patient care things. Eat lunch. Continue to take care of floor responsibilities, and admit any patients coming to service. Cover any C-sections from antepartum. Some afternoons will consist of either clinic or ultrasound clinic with Dr. Pombar. Not much downtime. Day usually finishes by 5:30-6:00. However, if you are still there at 6:30, you'll be expected at 6:30 board rounds. Lots of ultrasounds. Can spend time in OR if interested. Rotation is pretty chill. Attendings are the best. |
