Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
Spend several hours on rounds each day with residents and attendings. You are expected to see consults by yourself. As the only student I spent a lot of time with the attending, fellow and residents. Most of the day is spent rounding with the team. We would break up to see new consults and then go over them as a team in the afternoon. |
