The medical wards provide a mix of general and subspecialty care with 98 percent of the patients attended by our full-time faculty. In addition to the primary care and medical subspecialty clinics, the hospital has a complete neurodiagnostic center, and programs in occupational health, learning disabilities, sports medicine, stress reduction, and behavioral medicine. Active renal, hepatic, cardiac and pancreatic transplantation services are located here. The structure of the university campus ward teams maximizes the quality of teaching by providing each team with both a subspecialist and generalist attending. The team also includes one resident, two interns, a subintern, and a third-year student.
Long call is every fourth night for interns, every sixth for residents.
The on-call team receives assistance from a night float intern who covers all medical inpatients for any acute problems, and a night float resident that handles late admissions to the medical service. Many inpatients at the University campus are cared for by a housestaff-independent hospitalist service. As of this year this service will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The availability of this service ensures that residents will not be overwhelmed with admissions and care responsibilities. The Medical Intensive Care Unit has 11 intensive care and 5 intermediate care beds.
