Approximately one-third of our graduates go on to Fellowship training in a subspecialty of Medicine. As an Intern, on call varies from one in five to one in seven. Resident on-call schedules on Ward Medicine are complex and involve a night float arrangement. We have eliminated 24-hour shifts by this system. One month of elective time is scheduled.
Admissions average three to five per intern on Highland Wards.
The Neurology experience consists of out-patient and consultation services at Highland. At present, we do not do cardiac surgery, cardiac catheterizations, PTCA, or transplants on site. We do have arrangements with local centers to provide facilities for these services, often using our own staff. Elective rotations on these services are available. Clerkships are available for medical students in all subspecialities as well as Ward Medicine.
