Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
We spent every day with the resident and there was a lot of time to spend with attending one-on-one. They spent a lot of time teaching, which was a good refresher on all the things you have forgotten. Dr. Kent spent time almost every day discussing patient-relevant information with us as well as going over cases that laid out the basics of hematology-oncology. Dr. Valentino also had several presentations that covered the basics of coagulopathies. |

Typical day |
Typical day depended on the day but usually we go to clinic and see patients. Days we didn’t have clinic, we would round on the floor patients. After clinic, we would either see consults or have up to a 2-hour teaching session. There were clinic hours three days a week where you would see patients on your own, or with another medical student, then present to an attending. The other two mornings you would participate at rounds with the on-call Heme-Onc attending. There was very little down time overall. |

Other comments |
It was nice to have attendings that took so much time to teach. Also, got to do some procedures which was good practice. |
