Work Rounds are generally conducted for one and one-half to two hours each morning on all inpatient services. The PGY2 or PGY3 team leader conducts the rounds, and all members of the team participate. The team attending physician usually joins the general internal medicine teams two to three times per week on admitting days. The cardiology and critical care attending physicians and fellows make daily work rounds on the cardiology and critical care inpatient services. Morning Report is conducted by a chief resident for one hour each morning Monday through Friday.
Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making, differential diagnoses and patient management.
A staff radiologist is present to review radiological studies. Attending Rounds with the team attending physician generally take place for one and one-half to two hours following Morning Report at least three times weekly. Teaching at the bedside is emphasized and expected of our faculty. Attending Rounds provide an unmatched opportunity for clinical training. Noon Conferences on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are specifically directed toward resident physicians.
