Interns write all orders and learn to do a variety of procedures during the year. In addition to bedside teaching, each rotation provides trainees with a highly organized program of didactics designed to teach the fundamentals of each specialty. Daily conferences and clinical rounds are conducted by the full-time faculty and private attending staff. Each residency features weekly Grand Rounds, presented by visiting professors from major centers around the country. The program offers a variety of elective rotations both on and off the Good Samaritan Campus.
Elective rotations are a balance of inpatient and outpatient experiences.
Transitional interns are not required to participate in a longitudinal continuity clinic. Three weeks of paid vacation are allowed and individual preferences for vacation weeks are considered.
