Structure of rotation |

|
Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
You work nearly the whole day with the residents and maybe 4 hours with the attending. It is team based so you and the residents do procedures and go on all the codes. Attendings instruct on rounds. Attending 2hrs per day, excellent quality Residents 2-3hrs per day, excellent quality |

Typical day |
Show up around 8 am and pre-round on my patients (never more than 4) and then round as a team - usually bedside. Excellent instruction throughout rounds. After that the residents put in orders, etc. and then the team does all the needed procedures for the day. Afternoon rounds usually begin 1pm and then leave once they are done. This is a good rotation, as the residents will let you assist with placing central lines. (I placed several A-lines, swans, IJ's, a cordis, etc. The residents are very helpful. Just watch out for Laredo. Preround starting at 0630, round at 0730 until 0900. finish notes/procedures untill noon. noon-1300 lecture daily. check on patients/new admits until 1500. |
