The Housestaff Association has organized this traditional event for the Department. Sandwiches and chips will be served. Fun and games will be had. Students, faculty, staff, and current residents and families are encouraged to come to welcome those new to our program.
Children are particularly welcome.
This year the residency welcomes twenty-three new residents. This is an important time to welcome those with whom we will be working for subsequent years, and make them feel comfortable with the program and the community. Available residents should be given opportunity for the autopsy demonstration on all autopsies, but particularly those on teaching-service patients. At that time, the pathologist will page the chief resident of that site to notify him that autopsy materials are available for review by resident physicians. It is the chief resident's responsibility to promptly contact available residents, and meet them in the autopsy suite for the pathologist's demonstration.
