The Jefferson Connection Christiana Care hospitals and family medicine centers comprise Delaware's medical school and the largest teaching affiliate of Jefferson Medical College . As such, residents play an important role in teaching students at all levels in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Optional benefits may be purchased through pretax salary deductions at group rates to enhance existing insurance plans. In addition to computers in the libraries, Room 1306 at Christiana Hospital offers residents access to computers for training and use of Microsoft Office software applications, e-mail and online literature searches. A wide range of support services and personnel, including 24-hour phlebotomy and IV teams, respiratory therapists, EKG technicians, and nursing staff, help residents care for patients.
Electronic mail is available on the Internet.
