Patient complaints range from common pediatric disorders, such as diarrhea and dehydration or respiratory illnesses, to more complex problems requiring tertiary care management. Resident autonomy is encouraged with supervising residents running morning work rounds as well as directing several ward teaching conferences each week. The senior resident and faculty attending work together to direct PL-1 residents and medical students. Residents also work closely with a dedicated nursing staff, as well as pharmacists, respiratory therapists, social workers and the child life program.
All residents play a major role in teaching medical students during their ward clerkships.
Periodic workshops are offered to residents to help enhance their teaching skills. All rights reserved.
