While on the inpatient service, residents continue to work in the Family Medicine office and to attend Family Medicine departmental lectures one day per week. The PGY2 month at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital is similar to the first year outpatient rotation. The PGY2 Nursery month will be spent in St. John's Nursery, learning newborn and neonatal care. St. John's has a Level II Neonatal Nursery in addition to its very active normal newborn nursery. During this month residents work under the full-time pediatricians and neonatologists at St. John's Mercy.
All residents take the neonatal resuscitation course in the fall.
One month is with Mercy Pediatrics at St. John's during the PGY3 year. This is a ER rotation. Residents will round on the inpatients with the Mercy Pediatrics staff in the mornings. Morning office hours are spent in Family Practice Clinic. The only time spent regarding gynecology patients will be emergencies during the time on night call.
